(a)
Interpretation:
Chemical formula of lithium sulfite and lithium sulfide should be written.
Concept Introduction:
In order to determine the chemical formula of an ionic compound, the name of the cation is written first and the anion name comes second. Then the charges are balanced in such a way that charge on the ionic compound will be zero. Finally, the formula of the compound should be written by writing the cation first and the anion next.
(b)
Interpretation:
Chemical formula of sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate should be written.
Concept Introduction:
In order to determine the chemical formula of an ionic compound, the name of the cation is written first and the anion name comes second. Then the charges are balanced in such a way that charge on the ionic compound will be zero. Finally, the formula of the compound should be written by writing the cation first and the anion next.
(c)
Interpretation:
Chemical formula of calcium phosphate and calcium dihydrogen phosphate should be written.
