What is the name of the compound of iodine and cadmium?

Answer 1

i think its cadmium iodide, in that cadmium is a cation(Cd 2+), and therefore comes first in your compound name (you keep the name of the cation). Next, Iodine is a monoatomic anion(I-), so we keep the "ide" suffix at the end of the anion name. We therefore have "Cadmium iodide." I'm pretty certain this is correct, but compare with other results. Hope it helped. I love/hate chemistry.

Answer 2

The compound of iodine and cadmium is called cadmium iodide (CdI2). It is a white crystalline solid that is commonly used in Photography and as a source of iodine.
