Interpretation:For the given compounds, incorrect nomenclature has to be identified.
Concept introduction: If the group of atoms combines to form an ion, it is known as polyatomic ion.
General rules set for the nomenclature of binary ionic compounds are as follows:
- Position ofboth cation and anion forming element in the periodic table has to be identified for an idea of their oxidation states.
- Always the cationic species name is retained and placed first in nomenclature.
- After the cation name, anion name is placed with suffix ‘-ide’ at the end of its root name.
- The oxidation state is expressed as Roman numeral after cation name, enclosed in bracket. Such as copper(II) oxide.
Answer to Problem 5STP
B is incorrect nomenclature.
Explanation of Solution
For nomenclature of polyatomic anion, prior knowledge of composition of atoms in ion and its charge is must. Generally, polyatomic anion name ends with −ate with a few exceptions.
For sulfates
But in case of
So, option (B) is an incorrect nomenclature.
Nitriteis the correct nomenclature for polyatomic ion
