Hey everyone. Our question here is asking us to provide the name for the following compound. And when we look at our compound a little bit closely, we can see that we have our nitrite ion as N. 02 minus. So this means we simply added an H plus in order to create our compound. So since this is our nitrite ion, we can go ahead and use our naming rules and we know that if we have an ending of I T. E, we need to change that ending into oh us. So the name of our compound is going to be nitrous acid, since we simply added an H Plus in order to create the acidic form and this is going to be our final answer. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
