Chapter 22, Problem 65E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Write the appropriate name for ${\text{HPO}}_{\text{4}}{}^{\text{-2}}$ ion.

Concept introduction:

All know compounds are mainly classify as ionic and covalent compounds. In the naming of ionic compounds, the name of cation always comes first then the name of anion will come. Here cation is positively charged ion whereas anion is negatively charged ions. In the naming of covalent compounds, the name of center atom will come first followed by other atoms with certain suffix that depends on the charge and atoms. In the naming of polyatomic ions usually -ate suffix is used for those ions which have three or four O atoms.
