Interpretation: the name of the given formula of compound is to be identified from the given options.
Concept introduction:
Naming of ions:
Positive ions (cations) are named as metal name, example: aluminum for aluminum cation.
But, for the
Negative ions (anions) are named by adding ‘ide’ to the stem of the nonmetal element from which the anion is formed, example: chloride, bromide, etc. in case of poly anions, the
