Questions

There are multiple metals that have variable charges. Normally the charge is denoted in the name with a Roman numeral. The following chemical names are missing the Roman numeral. Write out the possible chemical formulas for the given names:

Example: Gold sulfate = Au2SO4, Au2(SO4)3

Lead nitrate

Mercury phosphide

Tin carbonate

Platinum permanganate

Vanadium sulfate

Cobalt fluoride

Explain why it is unlikely for the alkali metals to form +2 cations (i.e., Na2+).

What is the difference between C4 and 4C?

Explain why the name for SO2, sulfur dioxide, contains prefixes but the name for SnO2, tin(IV) oxide, does not.

Explanation / Answer

Here you go:

Lead nitrate: Pb(NO3)2

Mercury phosphide: Hg3P2

Tin Carbonate: SnCO3

Platinum permanganate: Pt(MnO4)2

Vanadium sulfate: VSO4, V2(SO4)3

Cobalt fluoride: CoF2

The alkali metals have the outermost electronic configuration of ns1, For example, if we take Na, then it's electronic configuration is 1s22s22p63s1, now, removal of one electron gives the stable outermost electron count i.e. 8 (2s22p6) electrons. But if we remove one more electron i.e. Na2+, then 2p5 , which is neither full filled nor half filled i.e. very less stable, that's why alkali metals do not form +2 ions.

Difference between 4C and C4 is very much since, C4 indicates a particular molecule and it has a definite shape also according to it's connectivity, but 4C means 4 single carbon atoms. This is the difference.

The naming of compounds are done on the basis of their respective charges of cation and anion. In case of SO2, oxygen being more electronegative is considered as -2 charge and thus S has +4 charge for the two O2- ions. So S behaves as a positive ion here. So it is named as sulfur dioxide. Same is also true for Tin (IV) Oxide. Thus naming of inorganic compounds are done on the basis of the charges not alphabetically.

I hope it helps!!!!!!!
