Chapter 3, Problem 68E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The name of ${\text{KNO}}_2$ should be written along with identify whether the compound is ionic or not.

Concept introduction:

The compounds which are formed between two elements are known as binary compounds and if one element is metal and another is non-metal, then the binary compound are made up of ions, known as binary ionic compounds.

First, the name of the metal should be identified with the help of its symbol.

The name of the non-metal should be identified with the help of its symbol and it is modified to end in “−ide”.

Polyatomic ions are those ions in which two or more atoms are joined with each other by covalent bonds. These ions are common, especially among non-metals

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The name of

${\text{BrF}}_2$ should be written along with identify whether the compound is ionic or not.

Concept introduction:

The compounds which are formed between two elements are known as binary compounds and if one element is metal and another is non-metal, then the binary compound are made up of ions, known as binary ionic compounds.

If the binary compound is made up of two non-metals then the compound is known as molecular compound.

First, the name of the metal should be identified with the help of its symbol.

The name of the non-metal should be identified with the help of its symbol and it is modified to end in “−ide” and number of atoms is assigned by prefixes: mono =1, di = 2, tri =3 and so on.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The name of ${\text{S}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ should be written along with identify whether the compound is ionic or not.

Concept introduction:

The compounds which are formed between two elements are known as binary compounds and if one element is metal and another is non-metal, then the binary compound are made up of ions, known as binary ionic compounds.

If the binary compound is made up of two non-metals then the compound is known as molecular compound.

First, the name of the metal should be identified with the help of its symbol.

The name of the non-metal should be identified with the help of its symbol and it is modified to end in “−ide” and number of atoms is assigned by prefixes: mono =1, di = 2, tri =3 and so on.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The name of ${\text{Mg(ClO)}}_{\text{2}}$ should be written along with identify whether the compound is ionic or not.
