Chapter 6, Problem 32E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The systematic name of ${\text{KClO}}_{\text{3}}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Ternary compounds are defined as those ionic compounds that contain metal ions connected to two other elements. They have a monoatomic metal cation and an oxyanion; that is, polyatomic in their formulas. In the chemical formula of ternary compounds, the cation is present before the anion. They are named by adding the suffixes -ate and –ite.
