Interpretation: The correct name for each of the given formula is to be identified. In case of incorrect name, the correct name is to be provided.
Concept Introduction: Compound that is composed of a metal and a non-metal is known as an ionic compound.
Acids which are composed of hydrogen and a non-metal are termed as binary acids.
The name of binary acids has the form, base name of the non-metal plus ‘ic-‘prefixed by hydro and suffixed by acid.
Oxyacids are composed of hydrogen, a non-metal, and oxygen.
Oxyacids are acids that contain oxyanions.
If two ions in series are present, ion with more oxygen atoms ends with –ate and ion with fewer oxygen atoms ends with –ite.
If more than two ions in the series are present, use the prefixes hypo- which means ‘less than’ and per- which means ‘more than’.
The name of acids containing oxyanions ending with –ite is named by base name of the oxyanion plus –ous suffixed by acid.
The name of acids containing oxyanions ending with –ate is named by base name of the oxyanion plus –ic suffixed by acid.
Polyatomic ions are comprise of groups of atoms that have an overall charge.
In order to name the ionic compounds that contain the polyatomic anion, name of the cation should be written first, followed by the name of the polyatomic anion.
