Concept Introduction:
The steps involved to name a molecular compound are as follows:
First, identify that the given compound involves the combination of two non-metals or a non-metal and a metalloid.
Identify the
Start the name with the name of the first element in the compound.
If more than one atom is present, use prefixes as di, tri, and tetra.
Then, state the root name of the second element with a proper suffix.
The naming representation for acid starts with ‘hydro’ as the prefix followed by the name of the metal or the non-metal with the use of ‘ic’ as a suffix.

- What chemical test(s) could you use to distinguish solid barium chloride from solid barium sulfate?arrow_forwardPart A There are conventions for naming and constructing the formulas for acids and bases just as there are for other types of compounds. There are three main rules for naming acids, as shown in the table. For example, an acid that contains a hydrogen ion and an acetate anion is called acetic acid What is the chemical formula for the base iron(III) hydroxide? Type of acid Naming convention Express your answer as a chemical formula. Hydrogen ion Nonmetal anion Prefix hydro Change nonmetal ending to ic acid • View Available Hint(s) Hydrogen ion Polyatomic ion ending in ate No prefix Change polyatomic ion ending to ic acid ΑΣφ Hydrogen ion Polyatomic ion ending in ite No prefix Change polyatomic ion ending to ous acid There is one main rule shown in the table for naming bases. For example, a base that contains a sodium ion and a hydroxide ion is called sodium hydroxide. DA chemical reaction does not occur for this question.
