Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The systematic name and the chemical formula for ferric bromide have to be written.
Concept Introduction:
In the older nomenclature system, an “–ous” ending is used to indicate the lower common ionic charge, and an –ic ending is used to indicate the higher common ionic charge.
Some of the examples are shown below,
Figure 1
Chemical formula:
- 1) The chemical formula of binary compound from a pair of its constituent ion has to be written.
- 2) The coefficients of the ions with the magnitude of the charge on each of the ions have to be crossed multiplied. This is done to neutralize charge on the binary compound.
- 3) The oxidation state of the metal is written in roman numbers in the brackets
(b)
Interpretation:
The systematic name and the chemical formula for stannic nitride have to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The systematic name and the chemical formula for ferrous bromide have to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
The systematic name and the chemical formula for aurous sulphide have to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
