Question

question 13 (1 point)
name the following ternary ionic compound
na₃po₄

question 14 (1 point)
name the following ternary ionic compound
ba(c₂h₃o₂)₂

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the cation and anion in \(Na_3PO_4\)

The cation is \(Na^{+}\) (sodium ion) and the anion is \(PO_4^{3 -}\) (phosphate ion). For ionic compounds, we name the cation first followed by the anion.

Step2: Name the compound

When naming, we just combine the name of the cation and the anion. So \(Na_3PO_4\) is sodium phosphate.

Step3: Analyze the cation and anion in \(Ba(C_2H_3O_2)_2\)

The cation is \(Ba^{2+}\) (barium ion) and the anion is \(C_2H_3O_2^{-}\) (acetate ion).

Step4: Name the compound

Again, name the cation first and then the anion. So \(Ba(C_2H_3O_2)_2\) is barium acetate.

Answer:

1. Sodium phosphate
2. Barium acetate
