∙ 11y agoOkay, first of all, the ClO2 polyatomic ion is called "chlorite," and it has a -1 charge. Next, you're bonding it with cobalt (Co), and the lack of a subscript after the chlorite means there is one of them. So, cobalt must have a +1 charge, and since cobalt is a transition metal, you express it as Co(I). Finally, you have water of crystallization/hydration that consists of 6 water molecules per formula unit. So the correct name for the compound is "Cobalt(I) chlorite hexahydrate."
The salt Cobalt(II) chlorite is more likely, Co(ClO2)2 .6H2O , 2 is a common oxidation state for cobalt.
