Step by step solution

01

Naming of a chemical compound

While naming a chemical compound, the positive atom will come first and is subsequently led by the negative part of the compound.

For example- While naming Common Salt, i.e., NaCl, the positive part of the compound is sodium, and the negative part is chloride. Thus the name of the compound is sodium chloride.

02

Determining the name of the chemical compound

Calcium is denoted by\(C{a^{2 + }}\),and dihydrogen phosphate is denoted by \({H_2}P{O_4}^ - \). Thus the name of the compound is Calcium dihydrogen phosphate.

03

 Determining the name of a chemical compound

FeSO4is the ionic form of \(F{e^{2 + }}\) and\(S{O_4}^{2 - }\).The name of this compound is ferrous sulfate.

04

Determining the name of a chemical compound

CaCO3is the ionic form of \(C{a^{2 + }}\) and \(C{O_3}^{2 - }\). Thus the name of this chemical compound is calcium carbonate.

05

 Determining the name of a chemical compound

MgO is the ionic form of \(M{g^{2 + }}\) and \({O^{2 - }}\) . Thus the name of this chemical compound is magnesium oxide.

06

Determining the name of a chemical compound 

NaNO2is the ionic form of \(N{a^ + }\) and \(N{O_2}^ - \). The name of this chemical compound is sodium nitrite.

07

Determining the name of the chemical compound

KI is the ionic form of \({K^ + }\) and \({I^ - }\) . The chemical name of the compound is potassium iodide.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Predict and test the behavior of α particles fired at a “plum pudding” model atom.

(a) Predict the paths taken by α particles that are fired at atoms with a Thomson’s plum pudding model structure. Explain why you expect the α particles to take these paths.

(b) If α particles of higher energy than those in (a) are fired at plum pudding atoms, predict how their paths will differ from the lower-energy α particle paths. Explain your reasoning.

(c) Now test your predictions from (a) and (b). Open the Rutherford Scattering simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16PhetScatter) and select the “Plum Pudding Atom” tab. Set “Alpha Particles Energy” to “min,” and select “show traces.” Click on the gun to start firing α particles. Does this match your prediction from (a)? If not, explain why the actual path would be that shown in the simulation. Hit the pause button, or “Reset All.” Set “Alpha Particles Energy” to “max,” and start firing α particles. Does this match your prediction from (b)? If not, explain the effect of increased energy on the actual paths as shown in the simulation.

How are electrons and protons similar? How are they different?

Using the periodic table, classify each of the following elements as a metal or a nonmetal, and then further classify each as a main-group (representative) element, transition metal, or inner transition metal:

(a) cobalt

(b) europium

(c) iodine

(d) indium

(e) lithium

(f) oxygen

(h) cadmium

(i) terbium

(j) rhenium

Write the symbol for each of the following ions: (a) the ion with a \(1 + \) charge, atomic number \(55,\) and mass number \(133\)(b) the ion with \(54\) electrons, \(53\) protons, and \(74\) neutrons (c) the ion with atomic number\(15,\) mass number \(31,\) and a \(3 - \) charge (d) the ion with \(24\) electrons, \(30\) neutrons, and a \(3 + \)charge

In the following drawing, the green spheres represent atoms of a certain element. The purple spheres represent atoms of another element. If the spheres touch, they are part of a single unit of a compound. Does the following chemical change represented by these symbols violate any of the ideas of Dalton’s atomic Theory? If so, which one?
