Identify the ions involved in the compound. Calcium (Ca) is a metal that typically forms a +2 charge, and selenide (Se) is a non-metal that typically forms a -2 charge.
Determine the correct formula for calcium selenide. Since calcium has a +2 charge and selenide has a -2 charge, they combine in a 1:1 ratio to form CaSe.
Recognize the term 'hexahydrate' which indicates that there are six water molecules associated with each formula unit of the compound.
Combine the formula for calcium selenide with the water molecules to form the complete formula for the hydrated compound: CaSe • 6 H2O.
Review the options provided and confirm that the correct chemical formula is CaSe • 6 H2O, which matches the description of calcium selenide hexahydrate.
