(a)
Interpretation:
The formula for the binary ionic compound, copper (I) oxide, is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The smallest particle which represents an ionic compound is known as formula unit. While writing the chemical formula of a compound, the net charge present over the formula unit should be zero. The zero net charge is obtained by equalizing the total positive charge on cations with the total negative charge on the anions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula for the binary ionic compound, iron (II) nitride, is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The smallest particle which represents an ionic compound is known as formula unit. While writing the chemical formula of a compound, the net charge present over the formula unit should be zero. The zero net charge is obtained by equalizing the total positive charge on cations with the total negative charge on the anions.
(c)
Interpretation:
The formula for the binary ionic compound, mercury (II) chloride, is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The smallest particle which represents an ionic compound is known as formula unit. While writing the chemical formula of a compound, the net charge present over the formula unit should be zero. The zero net charge is obtained by equalizing the total positive charge on cations with the total negative charge on the anions.
(d)
Interpretation:
The formula for the binary ionic compound, lead (IV) sulfide, is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The smallest particle which represents an ionic compound is known as formula unit. While writing the chemical formula of a compound, the net charge present over the formula unit should be zero. The zero net charge is obtained by equalizing the total positive charge on cations with the total negative charge on the anions.
