Chapter 2, Problem 64QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The name of the ionic compound $\text{Pb}{\left({\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\right)}_{\text{2}}$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

An ionic compound is formed by electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

Overall, the ionic compound is neutral as it contains equal number of positive and negative charged ions. The ionic compounds are formed due to high electronegativity difference between the two atoms. The more electronegative atom gets the negative charge and known as anion, the other gets positive charge and known as cation.

While naming ionic compounds, the name of the cation is written first followed by the name of anion with appropriate suffix.
