Would Tin(II) Fluoride be SnF^2? Im so confused!

That's right

I don't understand why though? Why would the 2 come after the Sn if its Tin(II)

Because fluroide has a charge of 1 and tin has a charge of 2.. they aren't the same so you switch them

Yes, Tin(II) Fluoride is represented by the chemical formula SnF2.

To understand how the formula is derived, let's break it down:

1. Determine the charge of the tin ion:
Tin is a transition metal and can form ions with different charges. In this case, "Tin(II)" indicates that the tin ion has a charge of +2.

2. Identify the charge of the fluoride ion:
Fluoride is a halogen and has a fixed charge of -1.

3. Balance the charges:
Since the tin ion has a charge of +2 and the fluoride ion has a charge of -1, we need two fluoride ions to balance the charge of the tin ion.

4. Write the final formula:
The resulting formula of Tin(II) Fluoride is SnF2, indicating that there are two fluoride ions for every tin(II) ion.

So, if you encounter the chemical formula SnF2, you can identify it as Tin(II) Fluoride by recognizing the charge of the tin ion and balancing the charges with the fluoride ion.
