(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of the ionic compound formed from sodium and bicarbonate should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Ionic compound which has a main group metal cation whose charge does not vary is named by writing the name of the cation and then the anion. the charge on the cation and number of ions from each type are not specified. In naming ionic compounds that has a metal with variable charge, the charge on the atom should be specified.
Polyatomic ions are cations or anions which have more than one atom. The name of most polyatomic anions are ended in the suffix "-ate". Exceptions to this are hydroxide, OH- and cyanide, CN-. The suffix "-ite" is used for anions that has one fewer oxygen than the anion named as "-ate". If the anion named as "-ate" is added a hydrogen atom, the word "hydrogen" is added before the name of the anion or the prefix "bi" is added.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula of the ionic compound formed from potassium and nitrate should be determined.
