Hydrated ionic compounds are also called hydrates. These are ionic compounds that have a specific number of water molecules in their chemical formulas.

Rules for nomenclature of a hydrated ionic compound

The ionic compound present is named first
This is followed by the numerical prefix, to show the number of water molecules and then the suffix hydrate.

STEP 2

Here, the ionic compound is Iridium(III) bromide, the oxidation state of Iridium is 3, it is given in the brackets, so the bromine should be present to satisfy the valency. Tetrahydrate means. four water molecules are present, hence, the formula is,
