(a)
Interpretation: The respective formulae for the given compounds should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
In the formula of the compound, the sum cation and anionic charges must be equal to zero. The ratio of cation and anion should be known in order to deduce the formula of a compound.
Rules for Nomenclature of ionic compounds:
- The name of the cation is followed by the name of the anion.
Cation: Removal of electron from the atom results to form positively charged ion called cation.
Anion: Addition of electron to atom results to form negatively charged ion called anion.
The net charge present in the element denotes the presence or absence of electrons in the element.
(a)
Answer to Problem 5.4WE
Explanation of Solution
Predict the Formula.
The cation and anion along with the charges are determined as above. Finally the symbols for the ions are combined. The sum of the charges of both cation and anion is equal to zero when the ratio of combination is
(b)
Interpretation: The respective formulae for the given compounds should be identified.
