These types of molecules are called hydrates. They have a certain number of moles attached to the salt. Their characteristic is being hygroscopic. That means that when they are exposed to air, they readily solvate.
The formula for Manganese Fluoride Decahydrate will involve the formula Mn, F and H₂O. In ionic form, Manganese is Mn⁺² while fluoride is in F⁻. When they are brought together, their superscripts are 'cross-multiplied' and becomes their respective subscripts. The compound becomes MnF₂. Then, we add the decahydrate which means 10 moles of H₂O. Hence, the formula for Manganese Fluoride Decahydrate is MnF₂*10H₂O.
