Interpretation:
The name of the compound
Concept introduction:
The chemical compounds are named based on the non metal and metal groups. The compound is to have single name though some compounds have alternative names as well. Therefore, common name identifies the chemical compound and its formula. Cation gets name of the elements while anions are named taking its first part adding ‘ide’ at the end.
Answer to Problem 28PP
The name of the compound
Explanation of Solution
The binary compounds has two elements where one of the element can be group 1 or Group 2. The naming of this compound follows certain rules wherein the ending word for binary compound is ‘ide’. Also, cation is named first while anion is named second. Cation gets name of the elements while anions are named taking its first part adding ‘ide’ at the end.
The compound
- ‘Na’ is chemical symbol for Sodium
- ‘Br’ is the chemical symbol for Bromide. It denotes element Bromine. But as per naming convention, it should end with ‘ide’. Hence, it is named as Bromide.
- Now combining both the elements names it is identified as ‘Sodium Bromide’.
