Concept explainers
Name the following compounds:
Interpretation:
The names the of given compounds are to be identified from the formula.
Concept introduction:
Steps for naming the ionic compounds are as follows:
Identify the cation and the anion in the compound.
Combine the names of the cations and the anions by elimination of the word ‘ion’ from the names of the individual ions.
Steps for naming the binary molecular compounds are as follows:
First name the element that appears first in its molecular formula.
Now, name the second element by changing its ending to –ide.
Use proper prefixes to indicate the number of atoms present for individual elements.
Steps for naming the acids are as follows:
From hydrogen, omit the term ‘–gen’, leaving the name hydro-.
The name ending with ‘–ide’ is changed to ‘–ic’.
Now, combine the two terms and add the word acid to give complete name.
The oxoacids are named according to the names of the oxoanions from which they are derived. The acid based on an -ate ion is called –ic acid.

- The element bromine is Br2, so the mass of a Br2 molecule is the sum of the mass of its two atoms. Bromine has two isotopes. The mass spectrum of Br2 produces three peaks with relative masses of 157.836, 159.834, and 161.832, and relative heights of 6.337, 12.499. and 6.164, respectively. (a) What isotopes of bromine are present in each of the three peaks? (b) What is the mass of each bromine isotope? (c) What is the average atomic mass of bromine? (d) What is the abundance of each of the two bromine isotopes?arrow_forward2.75 Chlorine has only two isotopes, one with mass 35 and the other with mass 37.
