Expert Solution
Step 1: Names of ionic compounds
  • MgBr2 :

Bromine has -1 charge as it is 1 electron less its nearest noble gas configuration.

2 Bromine atoms will lead to -2 charge.

As the molecule is neutral, Magnesium will have +2 charge.

The name of the ionic compound is "Magnesium(II) bromide ".

 

  • Al(OH)3 :

Hydroxide will have -1 charge. 3 Hydroxide ions will give -3 charge.

As the molecule is neutral, Aluminum will have +3 charge.

The name of the ionic compound is "Aluminum(III) hydroxide ".

 

  • Sn3P2 :

Phosphorus is 3 less its nearest noble gas (Argon) configuration.

So it gains 3 electrons and have -3 charge. 2 Phosphorus ions will have -6 charge.

As the molecule is neutral, Stannous will have +2 charge each.

The name of the ionic compound is "tin(II)phosphide".
