Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The name of ionic copper compound, Cu2O needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are named by writing the name of the cation first and followed by the name of the anion. When naming the anion, 'ide' is added to the ending of the elements name. The number of ions needed to balance the charge is not specified.
(b)

(c)
Interpretation:
The name of ionic copper compound, CuCl needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are named by writing the name of the cation first and followed by the name of the anion. When naming the anion, 'ide' is added to the ending of the elements name. The number of ions needed to balance the charge is not specified
(d)
