Step by step solution

01

Identify the type of compound

Determine if the compound is covalent (composed of nonmetals) or ionic (composed of metals and nonmetals or polyatomic ions).
02

Apply covalent nomenclature rules

For a covalent compound, use Greek numerical prefixes to indicate the number of atoms present for each element and add the suffix -ide to the second element: Example: ICl -> iodine monochloride
03

Apply ionic nomenclature rules

For ionic compounds, name the cation first and then the anion. If the cation is a metal with different possible charges, include the charge as a Roman numeral in parentheses. For polyatomic ions, use their common names: Example: \(\mathrm{KClO}_{3}\) -> potassium chlorate
04

Name acids and bases

For acids, use the prefix hydro- if the anion ends with -ide, and use the prefixes -ic and -ous for anions ending with -ate and -ite, respectively. For bases, simply name the ionic compound: Example: \(\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) -> acetic acid Solution: a. \(\mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\): acetic acid b. \(\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{2}\): ammonium nitrite c. \(\mathrm{Co}_{2} \mathrm{S}_{3}\): cobalt(III) sulfide d. ICl: iodine monochloride e. \(\mathrm{Pb}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}\): lead(II) phosphate f. \(\mathrm{KClO}_{3}\): potassium chlorate g. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\): sulfuric acid h. \(\mathrm{Sr}_{3} \mathrm{N}_{2}\): strontium nitride i. \(\mathrm{Al}_{2}\left(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\right)_{3}\): aluminum sulfite j. \(\mathrm{SnO}_{2}\): tin(IV) oxide k. \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CrO}_{4}\): sodium chromate l. HClo: hypochlorous acid
