Interpretation: The correct name for each of the given formula is to be identified. In case of incorrect name, the correct name is to be provided.
Concept Introduction: A compound that is composed of a metal and a non-metal is known as an ionic compound.
Compounds that are composed of two non-metals are termed as molecular compounds.
Element having the metallic character is named first while naming an ionic compound.
Prefixes indicate the number of atoms present in each element.
If only one atom of the first element in the formula is present, the prefix mono is generally omitted.
Polyatomic ions comprise of groups of atoms that have an overall charge.
In order to name the ionic compounds that contain the polyatomic ion as an anion, write the name of the cation followed by the name of the polyatomic ion.
