Co+3 Cl-1 <---- these are the ions and their charges

Co+3 Cl-1 Cl-1 Cl-1 <---- the charges have to add up to zero, so three -1 chlorine ions cancel out one +3 cobalt ion

CoCl3 <---- simplify

What is the correct name for compound cocl3?

As written 'cocl3' it means nothing. !!! Do you mean 'CoCl3' or ' COCl3' both of which are different formulae. CoCl3 is 'Cobalt(III) Chloride' COCl3 as a molecule does NOT exist. NB When writing chemical formulae symbols. single letter symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. Two letter symbols are written , first letter is a capital letter and the second letter is small/lower case. Hence 'co' is written as 'Co' (Cobalt). 'cl' is written as 'Cl' (Chlorine). Compare to 'C' Carbon and 'O' oxygen . NNB The molecule 'COCl3 ' does not exist . However, there is COCl2, which is 'di-chloro methone' Structurally 'Cl-C(=O)-Cl'.
