(a)
Interpretation: Name of the given polyatomic anions is to be given.
Concept Introduction: A polyatomic ion is a charged specie consisting of more than one atom. The given anion is an oxoanion. An oxoanion is specie consisting of a metal or a nonmetal bonded to oxygen atoms. When a metal/nonmetal forms two oxoanions , the one with more oxygen atoms ends in ‘ate’ and the one with less oxygen atoms ends in ‘ite’.
(a)

Answer to Problem 21A
The name of polyatomic anion is permanganate ion.
Explanation of Solution
It is an oxoanion of Manganese. Manganese forms two oxoanions. Both have same number of oxygens. So the name ends in ‘ate’.
(b)
Interpretation: Name of the given polyatomic anions is to be given.
Concept Introduction: A polyatomic anion consists of two or more than one atom. Peroxides are a class of compounds having an R-O-O-R bond where R is an alkyl group.
(b)

Answer to Problem 21A
The name of polyatomic anion is peroxide ion.
Explanation of Solution
After losing the two R groups, R-O-O-R becomes O22- . Thus the name is peroxide ion.
(c)

Answer to Problem 21A
The name of polyatomic anion is Chromate ion.
Explanation of Solution
It is an oxoanion of Chromium. Chromium forms two oxoanions. Both have same number of oxygen atoms per Chromium atom. So the name ends in ‘ate’.
(d)

Answer to Problem 21A
The name of polyatomic anion is Dichromate ion.
Explanation of Solution
It is an oxoanion of Chromium. Chromium forms two oxoanions. Both have same number of oxygen atoms per Chromium atom. So the name ends in ‘ate’.

- b) Certain cyclic compounds are known to be conformationally similar to carbohydrates, although they are not themselves carbohydrates. One example is Compound C shown below, which could be imagined as adopting four possible conformations. In reality, however, only one of these is particularly stable. Circle the conformation you expect to be the most stable, and provide an explanation to justify your choice. For your explanation to be both convincing and correct, it must contain not only words, but also "cartoon" orbital drawings contrasting the four structures.
