Interpretation: The correct name of the compound
Concept Introduction:
Ionic compound contains cations and anions.
In ionic compounds, the sum of positive ions gets cancelled with sum of negative ions.
Combination of two or more atoms in an ion is known as polyatomic ion.
Ionic compounds are named using the name of cation and omitting the word ion followed by the name of the anion and omitting the word ion from it.
Answer to Problem 1KSP
Correct answer: Calcium sulfate. The correct answer is option (d).
Explanation of Solution
Reasons for the correct option:
The compound
Here, cation is calcium and the anion is sulfate. So, the name of the compound is calcium sulfate.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect option:
Option (a) is incorrect because
Option (b) is incorrect because
So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is incorrect because
Option (e) is incorrect because
So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), (c) and(e) are incorrect.
