Chapter 3, Problem 106E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The compounds given in parts “a-d” are to be named and the formulas for the compounds in parts “e-h” are to be stated.

Concept introduction: The chemical bonds are the forces which hold the atoms together in compounds. The simplest representation of the molecule is known as a chemical formula. In the chemical formula cation always comes first in the naming while anion comes last with the ending the term “-ide”. Valence of the compound represents in the parentheses. The charge present on the cation and on the anions always follows the concept of valence.
