Here are the chemical formulas for the given compounds:

1. Aluminium Sulphide

  1. Identify the ions and their charges.

    Aluminium is in Group 13, forming an Al3+\text{Al}^{3+} ion.
    Sulphide is from sulfur (Group 16), forming an S2−\text{S}^{2-} ion.

  2. Balance the charges to form a neutral compound.

    To balance the +3+3 charge of Al3+\text{Al}^{3+} and the −2-2 charge of S2−\text{S}^{2-}, we need 2 aluminium ions and 3 sulphide ions (2×+3=+62 \times +3 = +6 and 3×−2=−63 \times -2 = -6).
    The chemical formula is:

    Al2S3\boxed{\text{Al}_2\text{S}_3}

    2. Magnesium tetraoxophosphate (V)

  3. Identify the ions and their charges.

    Magnesium is in Group 2, forming an Mg2+\text{Mg}^{2+} ion.
    Tetraoxophosphate (V) refers to the phosphate ion, PO43−\text{PO}_4^{3-}, where phosphorus has an oxidation state of +5.

  4. Balance the charges to form a neutral compound.

    To balance the +2+2 charge of Mg2+\text{Mg}^{2+} and the −3-3 charge of PO43−\text{PO}_4^{3-}, we need 3 magnesium ions and 2 phosphate ions (3×+2=+63 \times +2 = +6 and 2×−3=−62 \times -3 = -6).
    The chemical formula is:

    Mg3(PO4)2\boxed{\text{Mg}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2}

    3. Mercury (II) oxide

  5. Identify the ions and their charges.

    Mercury (II) indicates the Hg2+\text{Hg}^{2+} ion.
    Oxide is from oxygen (Group 16), forming an O2−\text{O}^{2-} ion.

  6. Balance the charges to form a neutral compound.

    The +2+2 charge of Hg2+\text{Hg}^{2+} and the −2-2 charge of O2−\text{O}^{2-} balance each other in a 1:1 ratio.
    The chemical formula is:

    HgO\boxed{\text{HgO}}

    4. Chromium (III) trioxosulphate (VI) Iron

  7. Identify the ions and their charges.

    Chromium (III) indicates the Cr3+\text{Cr}^{3+} ion.
    Trioxosulphate (VI) refers to the sulfate ion, SO42−\text{SO}_4^{2-}, where sulfur has an oxidation state of +6. (Note: "trioxo" is likely a typo for "tetraoxo" in this context, as sulfate has 4 oxygen atoms).
    The word "Iron" at the end is ambiguous in this context. Assuming it is an extraneous word or a typo, we will provide the formula for Chromium (III) sulfate.

  8. Balance the charges to form a neutral compound.

    To balance the +3+3 charge of Cr3+\text{Cr}^{3+} and the −2-2 charge of SO42−\text{SO}_4^{2-}, we need 2 chromium ions and 3 sulfate ions (2×+3=+62 \times +3 = +6 and 3×−2=−63 \times -2 = -6).
    The chemical formula is:

    Cr2(SO4)3\boxed{\text{Cr}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3}

    5. Potassium tetraoxomanganate (VII)

  9. Identify the ions and their charges.

    Potassium is in Group 1, forming a K+\text{K}^{+} ion.
    Tetraoxomanganate (VII) refers to the permanganate ion, MnO4−\text{MnO}_4^{-}, where manganese has an oxidation state of +7.

  10. Balance the charges to form a neutral compound.

    The +1+1 charge of K+\text{K}^{+} and the −1-1 charge of MnO4−\text{MnO}_4^{-} balance each other in a 1:1 ratio.
    The chemical formula is:

    KMnO4\boxed{\text{KMnO}_4}
