Interpretation:
The chemical formula for the given compounds isto be written.
Concept introduction:
The naming of a chemical compound is based on the charges of the cations and anions. For naming ionic compounds, the name of the cation is written after the name of ananion.
To form a compound from the given anion and cation, first identify the charges on thecation and the anion, as chargestransfer to the subscript of the other ion, which means the charge on the cation transfers to the subscript of the anion and the charge of the anion goes to the subscript of the cation.

Explanation of Solution
a) Copper (I) cyanide
The copper (I) cation has a charge of
So, the compoundcopper (I) cyanide is formed from the cation
Hence, the formula for copper (I) cyanide is
b) Strontium Chlorite
The strontium cation has charge of
So, the compoundstrontium chlorite is formed from the cation
Hence, the formula for strontium chlorite is
c)Perbromic acid
The compoundperbromic acidis formed from bromium oxide and hydrogen. Therefore, formula ofperbromic acidis
Hence, the formula for perbromic acidis
d) Hydroiodic acid
The hydrogen cation has a charge of
So, the compoundhydroiodic acidis formed from cation
Hence, the formula for hydroiodic acidis
e) Disodium ammonium phosphate
The compounddisodium ammonium phosphate is formed fromsodiumNa+ cation and ammonium phosphate
Hence, the formula for disodium ammonium phosphateis
f) Potassium dihydrogen phosphate
The compoundpotassium dihydrogen phosphateis formed from the potassium
Hence, the formula for potassium dihydrogen phosphateis
g) Iodine heptafluoride
The compoundiodine heptafluoride is formed from iodine and fluorine. There is an iodine atom present and heptafluoride means there are seven fluoride atoms present, which makes the formula of the compoundiodine heptafluorideto be
Hence, the formula for iodine heptafluorideis
h)Tetra phosphorous decasulfide.
The compoundtetra phosphorous decasulfideis formed from the phosphorus cation and the sulphur anion. There are tetra phosphorus present, which means there are four phosphorus atoms and decasulfide means there are10sulfur atoms are present, which makes the formula of the compoundtetra phosphorous decasulfideto be
Hence, the formula for tetra phosphorous decasulfideis
i) Mercury (II) oxide
The mercury cation has a charge of
Mercury (II) oxideis formed from the cation
Hence, the formula for mercury (II) oxideis
j) Mercury (I) iodide
The mercurycation has a charge of
So, mercury (I) iodide is formed from the cation
Hence, the formula for mercury (I) iodideis
k)Selenium hexafluoride
The selenium cation has a charge of
So, the selenium hexafluoride is formed from the cation
Hence, the formula for selenium hexafluorideis
