Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The name of the compound
Concept introduction: A chemical compound’s name can be given via elements or ions that are part of that compound. This is done using suitable suffix and prefix. The element which is positioned left in periodic table is named first followed by another element. The second element’s name also ends with suffix “ide”. Hence, compound’s formula can be easily be utilized to find its name.
