Question

1. name the following chemical formulas for ionic bonds

a. licl
b. k₃p
c. al₃c₄
b. cs₃b
c. srse

1. provide the chemical formulas for the following ionic compounds

a. iron (iii) chloride
b. lead (iv) oxide
c. aluminum phosphide
d. rubidium sulfide
e. mercury (i) bromide

Explanation:

For naming ionic compounds, we first identify the cation and anion. The cation is named first, followed by the anion. For example, in \(LiCl\), \(Li^+\) is lithium cation and \(Cl^-\) is chloride anion. When writing formulas for ionic compounds, we balance the charges. For Iron (III) chloride, \(Fe^{3 +}\) and \(Cl^-\) combine in a \(1:3\) ratio to balance charges (\(+3+3\times(- 1)=0\)).

Answer:

3.
a. Lithium chloride
b. Potassium phosphide
c. Aluminum carbide
d. Cesium boride
e. Strontium selenide

4.
a. \(FeCl_3\)
b. \(PbO_2\)
c. \(AlP\)
d. \(Rb_2S\)
e. \(Hg_2Br_2\)
