What is the anion name for HgS?
Mercury(II) Sulfide. Made of Mercury cation and Sulfide anion.
What are some common natural molecules of americium?
Americium is an artificial chemical element, man made !
Why is ClO named hypochlorite?
If you mean ClO-, this is not a systematic name. There are quite a few ions made of chlorine and oxygen, and the general name for them is chlorates, (where the -ate ending signifies oxygen). If there is a lower amount of oxygen than in another compound we often change the ending to -ite, and the prefix hypo means 'below' , so basically we are saying this is an anion containing chlorine and oxygen, but not very much oxygen. Systematically, we call it the chlorate(I) ion.
Is NaClO3 a element?
No. NaClO3 (sodium chlorate) is an ionic compound with 3 different elements in it. (Na+= sodium cation, Cl(+5) = chlorine and 3 O(-2) = oxygen, bound together in one chlorate ClO3- anion).
What are insoluble salts made from?
As all other salts they contain generally a cation and an anion.
How many parts are there in the name of an ionic compound?
The name of the cation followed by the name of the anion. If the cation is a single atomic cation, its name is the same as the name of the element (followed by the oxidation state number of the metal in the cation in Roman numbers within parentheses, if the cation is formed from an element that has two distinct stable oxidation states). If the anion is a single atom anion, its name is made from the element name by changing the ending "-ine", if present in the element name, to "-ide" or otherwise modifying the element name to end in "-ide" (e.g., carbide, nitride, oxide, sulfide, etc.). Polyatomic cations and anions have individual names.
How would you identify an acid from its name or formula?
DERIVING ACID'S NAME FROM FORMULAIn order to name an acid when given the formula, follow these steps:1. Identify the anion. This can be done by removing or separating the hydrogen(s) from the anion via writing out the equation. The number of hydrogens is = to the anion's charge.HX --> H+ + XORH+ + Anion (Cation + Anion)2. Name the acid. It is highly recommended to remember various polyatomic ions and such for this step. Since acids are named based on the anion, follow the guidelines below:Anion ends with "-ide": place the prefix "hydro-" in front of the element name. Replace "-ide" with "-ic acid".Hydro-element name-ic acidAnion ends with "-ate": replace "-ate" with "-ic acid".Element name-ic acidAnion ends with "-ite": replace "-ide" with "-ous acid".Element name-ous acid**NOTE: If the anion involves sulfur or phosphorus, changes to the stem name will be made. Add "-ur" to the stem name if there is sulfur, or "-or" if there is phosphorus.**SulfurAnion ends with "-ide": hydro-element name-uric acidAnion ends with "-ate": element name-uric acidAnion ends with "-ite": element name-urous acidPhosphorusAnion ends with "-ide": hydro-element name-oric acidAnion ends with "-ate": element name-oric acidAnion ends with "-ite": element name-orous acidDERIVING FORMULA FROM ACID NAMEIn order to identify the formula from the acid's name, follow these steps:1. Identify the anion. This can be done by adjusting the name via removal of suffixes and prefixes (if applicable).Anion starts with "hydro-", ends with "-ic acid": drop prefix and replace "-ic acid" with "ide.Element name-ideAnion ends with "-ic acid": replace "-ic acid" with "-ate".Element name-ateAnion ends with -ous acid": replace "-ous acid" with "-ite".Element name-ite**NOTE: If there is sulfur or phosphorus in the anion, also remove the "-ur" (sulfur) or the "-or" (phosphorus) in the ending when identifying the anion.2. Identify the formula. Now that the anion has been identified, we can create the formula. Add cation H+ to the equation (the number of hydrogens is equal to the anion's charge). It is recommended to remember various polyatomic ions for this step.Cation + AnionH+ + AnionORH+ + X-n--> HX
