(a)
Interpretation:
The formula for the compound, boron tribromide that contains a semimetal is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The IUPAC system of naming is used to provide a proper naming to binary ionic compound. According to this system of naming, the cation of the binary ionic compound is named as the same as atom and the anions of the compound ends with suffix -ide. In this system of naming the total number of atoms are represented with the help of Greek prefixes like mono- for one atom, di- for two atoms, tri- for three atoms till deca- for ten atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula for the compound, trisilicon tetranitride that contains a semimetal is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The IUPAC system of naming is used to provide a proper naming to binary ionic compound.
