Q. 6.110 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Write the name for the following: 

a. $K^{+}$

b. $N{a}^{+}$

c. $B{a}^{2+}$

d. $C{l}^{-}$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

a. Name of given element $K^{+}$ is potassium ion

b. Name of given element $N{a}^{+}$ is sodium ion

c. Name of given element $B{a}^{2+}$ is barium ion

d. Name of given element $C{l}^{-}$ is chloride ion

Part(a) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the name for $K^{+}$

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

Potassium ion is a compound of potassium where potassium has a oxidation state of $+1$and it is a ion so it's name will be potassium.

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the name for $N{a}^{+}$

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation

Sodium ion is a compound of Sodium where Sodium has a oxidation state of $+1$and it is a ion so it's name will be sodium.

Part(c) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the name for $B{a}^{2+}$.

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation

Barium ion is a compound of Barium where Barium has a oxidation state of $+2$and it is a ion so it's name will be barium.

Part(d) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the name for $C{l}^{-}$.

Part(d) Step 2: Explanation

Chloride ion is a compound of Chlorine where Chlorine has a oxidation state of $-1$and it is a ion so it's name will be chloride ion.
