(a)
Interpretation:
The name of the ionic compound
(b)
Interpretation:
The name of the ionic compound
Concept Introduction:
If a nonmetal can form four possible anions with oxygen, then the prefix per- and the suffix –ate are attached to the ion with the greatest number of oxygen atoms.
Example, oxychloro anions (because they comprises of chlorine and different number of oxygen atoms).
(c)
Interpretation:
The name of the ionic compound
(d)
Interpretation:
