Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The way the cations are different in each type of binary compound needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Binary compounds are the common chemical compounds, where they are made by the two distinct elements. Binary compounds are present in the crystals forms and they are composed of two different elements.
Answer to Problem 4RQ
In the binary compounds, the cations are written first. The cations are found with different oxidation states, the oxidation state written in roman.
Explanation of Solution
There are binary compounds made up of more than one each element. In binary compounds, some cations carry positive charge and anions. There are three types of binary compounds are present as ionic compounds, covalent compounds, binary acids.
There are ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are present between the binary compounds. The different oxidation states of cations in the binary compounds leads to the cations are different for all binary compounds.
