name al(clo₃)₃

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the cation and anion

The compound is \( \text{Al(ClO}_3\text{)}_3 \). The cation is \( \text{Al}^{3+} \) (aluminum ion) and the anion is \( \text{ClO}_3^- \) (chlorate ion).

Step2: Name the compound

For ionic compounds, we name the cation first, then the anion. The cation \( \text{Al}^{3+} \) is named aluminum. The anion \( \text{ClO}_3^- \) is chlorate. Since there are three chlorate ions (from the subscript 3 outside the parentheses) to balance the \( 3+ \) charge of aluminum, we use the name of the cation and the name of the anion. So the compound is named aluminum chlorate.

Answer:

Aluminum Chlorate
