Chapter 5 Problem 22QP

Question

Write the name for each of the following:a. Ag3Pb. PbSc. SnO2d. MnCl3e. FeSf. CoCl2

Solution

Solution 22QP:Here we have to write the name for each of the following.Rules for writing the name of compound:1.The name of cation (metal) is always written first and then anion (nonmetal) in second.2.If the oxidation number of metal is more than one, we have to include the oxidation number of the metal in parentheses with no space after the name of the metal.3. The name of the nonmetal would be written with the name modified to end in ‘ide’.Step-1a. Ag3P1.Here Ag is the cation (metal) and P is the anion (nonmetal). Hence name of Ag will be written 1st followed by P.2. Ag is the chemical symbol of Silver.3.P is the chemical symbol of Phosphorous, the name of Phosphorous will be written by ending with ‘ide’ to get Phosphide.Here the oxidation state of the metal is +1. Thus the name of the compound is Silver phosphide.Step-2b. PbS1.Here Pb is the cation (metal) and S is the anion (nonmetal). Hence name of Pb will be written 1st foll
