What are the IUPAC names of the following compounds?

  1. Manganese dioxide
  2. Mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2)
  3. Ferric nitrate [Fe(NO3)3]
  4. Titanium Tetrachloride
  5. Cupric bromide (CuBr2)

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The IUPAC name of manganese dioxide is Manganese(iv)oxide.
  2. The IUPAC name of mercurous chloride is chloromercury. Or Mercury(I) chloride
  3. The IUPAC name of ferric nitrate is iron(III)nitrate.
  4. The IUPAC name of Titanium Tetrachloride is titanium(IV) chloride.

5.The IUPAC name of Cupric bromide is copper(II)bromide.

Step by step solution

01

Follow the rules of naming the compounds

  • If the compound is a salt, cation is named first then anion is named.
  • A Roman number is added in the bracket to specify the oxidation state of metal.
  • If the metal is anionic complex ion, use the suffix -ate.
  • Ligand is named before the central metal atom.
  • If more than one ligand is there, they are named in alphabetical order.
02

Determine the IUPAC names

  1. The IUPAC name of manganese dioxide is Manganese(iv)oxide.

Samples of compound X, Y, and Z are analyzed, with results shown here.

Do these data provide example(s) of the law of definite proportions, the law of multiple proportions, neither, or both? What do these data tell you about compounds X, Y, and Z?

For each of the following compounds, state whether it is ionic or covalent, and if it is ionic, write the symbols for the ions involved:

  1. \(KCl{O_4}\)
  2. \(Mg{\left( {{C_2}{H_3}{O_2}} \right)_2}\)
  3. \({H_2}S\)
  4. \(A{g_2}S\)
  5. \({N_2}C{l_4}\)
  6. \(Co{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2}\)

Repeat Exercise 2.20 using an element that has three naturally occurring isotopes.

Predict and test the behaviour of α particles fired at a Rutherford atom model.

(a) Predict the paths taken by α particles that are fired at atoms with a Rutherford atom 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 Rutherford atoms, predict how their paths will differ from the lower-energy α particle paths. Explain your reasoning.

(c) Predict how the paths taken by the α particles will differ if they are fired at Rutherford atoms of elements other than gold. What factor do you expect to cause this difference in paths, and why?

(d) Now test your predictions from (a), (b), and (c).

Open the Rutherford Scattering simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16PhetScatter) and select the “Rutherford Atom” tab. Due to the scale of the simulation, it is best to start with a small nucleus, so select “20” for both protons and neutrons, “min” for energy, show traces, and then 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. Pause or reset, set 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 path as shown in the simulation. Pause or reset, select “40” for both protons and neutrons, “min” for energy, show traces, and fire away. Does this match your prediction from (c)? If not, explain why the actual path would be that shown in the simulation. Repeat this with larger numbers of protons and neutrons. What generalization can you make regarding the type of atom and effect on the path of α particles? Be clear and specific.
