(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of calcium bromide should be written.
Concept Introduction:
In the name of an ionic compound, cation comes first followed by the anion. Metal cations which have variable charge, will give the charge of the ion in Roman numeral in the parentheses. The charge on the cation is used to determine the number of anions in the formula to balance the charge. This number is shown in subscripts.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula of copper(I) iodide should be written.
Concept Introduction:
In the name of an ionic compound, cation comes first followed by the anion. Metal cations which have variable charge, will give the charge of the ion in Roman numeral in the parentheses. The charge on the cation is used to determine the number of anions in the formula to balance the charge. This number is shown in subscripts.
(c)
Interpretation:
The formula of ferric bromide should be written.
Concept Introduction:

(d)
Interpretation:
The formula of magnesium sulfide should be written.
Concept Introduction:
