(a)
Interpretation:
The formulas for
Concept introduction:
The general rules for writing the common names of compounds of metals that form more than one ion are:
1) The root name of the metal is followed by the suffix
2)The root name of the metal is followed by the suffix
For writing the systematic name of the compound, a roman numeral within parentheses is written immediately after the name of the metal ion to indicate the charge on it.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formulas for lithium nitride, lithium nitrite, and lithium nitrate are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The general rules for naming ionic compounds are as follows:
1) In ionic compounds, the cations are named before the anions.
2) In binary ionic compounds, the name of the cation is the same as the name of the metal. The name of the anion includes the root name of the non-metal and a suffix
3) In polyatomic ions in which a non-metal is bonded to one or more oxygen atoms. In two oxoanions in the family, the ion with fewer oxygen atoms has the non-metal root name and a suffix
(c)
Interpretation:
The formulas for strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide are to be determined.
