#### Question 7: Name the following compounds:
A) CoCl₂
**Name: ______________________________**
B) P₃N₅
**Name: ______________________________**
C) (NH₄)₃P
**Name: ______________________________**
D) GeO₂
**Name: ______________________________**
---
**Instructions:**
Identify the correct chemical names for each of the given compounds. Write your answers in the spaces provided.
**Tips for Naming:**
- **For ionic compounds** (such as CoCl₂), name the metal (Cobalt) followed by the non-metal (Chlorine) with an "-ide" suffix.
- **Molecular compounds** (such as P₃N₅) usually use prefixes (tri-, penta-) to denote the number of atoms present.
- **For compounds with ammonium** (like (NH₄)₃P), first name the ammonium ion and then the anion.
- **Oxides** of elements (such as GeO₂) typically use the element name followed by "oxide."
These exercises help in understanding the systematic nomenclature in chemistry, reinforcing the rules and conventions for naming chemical substances.
