Chapter 3, Problem 3.74P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The name of the ionic compound KF needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

In an ionic compound, a cation is named first, while an anion is named later. As the question contains monoatomic ions, the rules related to the nomenclature of monoatomic ions should be followed.

Answer to Problem 3.74P

Potassium fluoride.

Explanation of Solution

An ionic compound is a combination of a cation (positively charged ion) & an anion (negatively charged ion). This combination results in a charge neutralized stable chemical species.

There is a specific pattern to name an ionic compound. Usually, in a formula of an ionic compound, a cation is presented in the right side, while an anion is in the left side.

Naming of cations

  1. The naming of the cation is very simple. It is just the writing of the name of the metal element.
  2. Sometimes there are some metals that form different cations. In that case after the cation name, the charge should be indicated in roman numbers, with in the brackets.

Naming of anions

  1. To determine the name of the monoatomic anion (anion which has only one type of atom) following rules should be followed. When naming an anion the ending name of the elemental anion should be removed to replace it by "ide". This question contains ionic compounds with monoatomic anions.
  2. These rules will be cleared when using them practically to write the ionic names.

Consider KF. The cation is K+. The only cation related to K is K+. Therefore, 2nd rule of cations is not applied.

KF − Potassium + Fluor(ine)

Within the brackets, it contains the ending of the anion. That part should be removed to replace by "ide".

Potassium + Fluor(ide)

Potassium fluoride.

Zinc(II) Chloride.

Explanation of Solution

An ionic compound is a combination of a cation (positively charged ion) & an anion (negatively charged ion). This combination results in a charge neutralized stable chemical species.

There is a specific pattern to name an ionic compound. Usually, in a formula of an ionic compound, a cation is presented in the right side, while an anion is in the left side.

Using the described rules, the name of the ionic compound can be derived as follows.

Consider ZnCl2,the cation is Zn2+. So, II should be mentioned within brackets.

ZnCl2 − Zinc(II) + Chlor(ine)

Within the brackets, it contains the ending of the anion. That part should be removed to replace by "ide".

Zinc(II) + Chlor(ide)

Zinc(II) Chloride

Answer to Problem 3.74P

Copper(I) Sulfide.

Explanation of Solution

An ionic compound is a combination of a cation (positively charged ion) & an anion (negatively charged ion). This combination results in a charge neutralized stable chemical species.

There is a specific pattern to name an ionic compound. Usually, in a formula of an ionic compound, a cation is presented in the right side, while an anion is in the left side.

Using the described rules, the name of the ionic compound can be derived as follows.

Consider Cu2S. The cation is Cu+ (Cuprous). Cu has two cations as Cu+ (Cuprous) & Cu2+ (Cupric). So the second rule for cations applies here. So, I should be mentioned within brackets.

Cu2S − Copper(I) + Sulf(ur)

Within the brackets, it contains the ending of the anion. That part should be removed to replace by "ide".

Copper(I) + Sulf(ide)

Copper(I) Sulfide

Copper(I) Sulfide is the name of Cu2S, according to the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) rules of ionic compound nomenclature. Generally, Cu2S also be known as Cuprous Sulfide as Cu+ ion is known as Cuprous ion.

An ionic compound is a combination of a cation (positively charged ion) & an anion (negatively charged ion). This combination results in a charge neutralized stable chemical species.

There is a specific pattern to name an ionic compound. Usually, in a formula of an ionic compound, a cation is presented in the right side, while an anion is in the left side.

Using the described rules, the name of the ionic compound can be derived as follows.

Consider SnO, the cation is Sn2+ (Stannous). Sn has two cations as Sn2+ (Stannous) & Sn4+ (Stannic). So the second rule for cations applies here. So II should be mentioned within brackets. The common name for the metal is Tin.

SnO − Tin(II) + Ox(ygen)

Within the brackets, it contains the ending of the anion. That part should be removed to replace by "ide".

Tin(II) + Ox(ide)
