Is the compound neutral?
Each formula is given as a list of its ions: (charge, how many). You will add up the charges, list the formulas that are neutral, and catch the one that a careless student wrote wrongly.
The idea. In a real ionic compound, the positive and negative charges cancel, so the total is zero.
Your tasks.
- In
total_charge, return the sum of charge × number for all the ions. - Fill
neutralwith the names of the formulas whose total is zero. - Find
wrong, the name of the formula that is not neutral.
