Name each ionic compound appropriately: a. BaS b. FeCl3 c. PbI4 d. SrBr2
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the cation and anion in each compound. For example, in BaS, Ba is the cation and S is the anion.
Determine the charge of the cation and anion. For instance, Ba typically has a charge of +2, and S has a charge of -2.
Name the cation first, followed by the anion. For BaS, the cation is Barium and the anion is Sulfide, so the compound is named Barium Sulfide.
For transition metals like Fe and Pb, determine the oxidation state of the metal. For FeCl3, Fe has a +3 charge, so it is named Iron(III) Chloride.
Apply the same process to the remaining compounds: PbI4 is Lead(IV) Iodide and SrBr2 is Strontium Bromide.
