Answer : The chemical formula for the compound is, \(MI\)
Explanation :
When the element 'M' react with the \(I_2\) to give \(MI\).
The balanced chemical reaction is,
\(2M+I_2\rightarrow 2MI\)
In this reaction, 'M' is in mono-atomic form and \(I_2\) is in diatomic form.
By the stoichiometry,
2 moles 'M' react with the 1 mole of \(I_2\) to give 2 moles of \(MI\).
Therefore, the chemical formula of the compound is, \(MI\)
