Question 1
Lithium (\(Li\)) is a Group 1 metal with a fixed charge of \(+1\). In ionic compound naming, for metals with fixed charges, we don't need to indicate the charge in Roman numerals. Chloride is the anion (\(Cl^-\)). So, the name is lithium chloride.
In \(FeO\), oxygen (\(O\)) has a charge of \(- 2\). Let the charge of \(Fe\) be \(x\). Using the charge - balance rule (\(x+(-2)=0\)), we find \(x = + 2\). For transition metals with variable charges, we use Roman numerals. So, it's iron(II) oxide.
Barium (\(Ba\)) is a Group 2 metal. Group 2 metals lose 2 electrons to form ions. So, the charge on a barium ion (\(Ba^{2+}\)) is \(+2\).
