Answer to Problem 83E

The naming of $\text{CuI}$ is copper (I) iodide.

Explanation of Solution

To determine: The  naming of $\text{CuI}$

The name of $\text{CuI}$ is copper(I) iodide.

In naming of covalent compound, the name of cation comes first which is the name of element. Anion is named second which is also the name of element. Monatomic anions are named with the ending -ide.

Roman numerals are used to show the oxidation state because some elements exhibit more than one oxidation state. Copper exhibits $+1\text{and}+2$ oxidation state.

Here copper $\left({\text{Cu}}^{2+}\right)$ ion is cation and iodine $\left({\text{I}}^{-}\right)$ ion is mono-atomic anion. The oxidation state of copper is $+1$ because total charge on anion is $-1$. Since compound should be electrically neutral, the name of $\text{CuI}$ compound is copper (I) iodide.

Conclusion

The name of $\text{CuI}$ is copper(I) iodide.
