Answer:
Explanation:
Naming of the ionic compounds:-
- The name of the cation is written first and the the name of the anion is written after the name of the cation separated by single space.
- The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
- In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.
Hence, given ionic compound:-
Cobalt(II) phosphate
So, Cobalt will have a positive charge of +2
Phosphate is
So, the formula is :-
Co
2 3
Answer: D. like dissolves like
Explanation:
The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.
Hydrocarbons are non polar in nature due to less difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen and thus are soluble in non polar solvents only.
Ionic compounds which are formed by elements with high electronegativity difference are polar in nature and thus dissolve in polar solvents.
Example: in water.
