Interpretation:
Whether the given compounds name are correct or incorrect, is to be checked and if possible all correct possible names along with formula are to be written.
Concept Information:
To attain an electrically neutral compound, the respective charges of the cation and anion are interchanged, that is, positive charges for the subscript of the anion and negative charges for the subscript of the cation.
Stock system is the method for naming the metal ions that have more than one oxidation state in compounds which are indicated by Roman numeral in parenthesis just after the name of the metal ion.
For naming of ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions, the name of the metal (cation) or a polyatomic cation written first, followed by the name of anion, this can be non-metal, and it this is non-metal (anion), change the suffix of non-metal to
Rules of naming molecular compounds:
Replace the ending of the second element with “ide”.
While naming molecular compounds prefixes are used to indicate the number of a given element present in the compound like ” mono-” indicates one, “di-” indicates two, “tri-” is three, “tetra-” is four, “penta-” is five, and “hexa-” is six, “hepta-” is seven, “octo-” is eight, “nona-” is nine, and “deca” is ten.

- Some salts make hydrates when there is moisture around. Some hydrate samples can absorb lights in visible legion. Therefore, they show some colors. Thus, hydrates can be used to detect the moisture in the environment. Let's say you are working in a laboratory with a group and you are the only student who has taken chemistry courses. Your laboratory received a sample of cobalt(II) chloride which has the formula CoCl2·xH2O. Let's say your boss asked you to find the formula of this hydrate salt sample since you are the only chemist there. From your laboratory experience, simply explain the experimental procedure you would follow to find the formula of this unknown sample. Then, use the given data for the calculation part.
