Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Each of the given ionic compound is to be namedin which metal forms more than one type of ion.
Concept introduction:
Compounds are composed of one or more cations paired with one or more anions are termed as ionic compounds.
In most of the cases, cations are metals and anions are non-metals.
A compound composed of a metal and a non-metal is ionic.
If the metal is transition metal, it can form more than one type of ion.
For
In order to name the ionic compounds that contain metals forming more than one type of ion, first, write the name of cation followed by the charge of the cation in Roman numeral in parenthesis followed by the base name of the anion with the suffix -ide.
