Interpretation:
To determine, the ending used for metallic elements that forms two stable cations with lower charge and with higher charge.
Concept Introduction:
While naming a molecular compound, the first non-metal in the molecular formula is named first as its simple element name. After that the second non-metal is named using the first syllable of that non-metal name followed by ide suffix.
For example, the name for
Here, Br is first non-metal and F is the second non-metal and penta indicates the number of second non-metal.
The general rules for writing name of binary compound are as follows:
- To write the positive ion first.
- The write the name of negative ions after positive ion.
- The positive ions always write as only the element’ name, there is no change required.
- In the name of negative ion add−ide when write its name in the binary compound. Their number is indicated by prefixes, di-, tri-, tetra-, etc.
