Chapter 2, Problem 2.124P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name for the ion ${\text{SeO}}_4^{2-}$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A polyatomic ion is an ion in which two or more atoms are bonded covalently to each other. Polyatomic ions undergo ionic bond formation with other ions. The external behaviour of the polyatomic ions is the same as that of any monoatomic ion. Polyatomic ionic compounds dissolve in water and conduct electricity just like binary ionic compounds. However, the internal structure of the polyatomic ions is more complicated due to the presence of atoms of different elements.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name for the ion ${\text{AsO}}_4^{3-}$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A polyatomic ion is an ion in which two or more atoms are bonded covalently to each other. Polyatomic ions undergo ionic bond formation with other ions.
