<span>copper(II) nitrate

the formula can be rewritten as Cu1(NO3)2

if you take the subscripts, 1 and 2 and make them the charges of the opposite ions, you have:

Cu^2 (NO3)^1

Since the cation is always written first in ionic compounds, the Cu has a 2+ charge and the anion is written second therefore NO3 has a 1- charge:

Cu^2+ (NO3)^1-

Cu is copper but it is a transition metal which means it can have more than one charge.

copper can have a 1+ or a 2+ charge (generally)

in this case it has a 2+ so you need to indicate this in the name by using a roman numeral after the name:

copper(II)

NO3^1- is a polyatomic anion and has a fixed charge and a name (this can be looked up):

nitrate

put the two names together and don't forget the roman numeral:

copper(II) nitrate </span>

Cu(NO₃)₂ is known as Copper (II) Nitrate.

If you ionize it you name it easier:
Cu²⁺ is copper (II) cation
NO₃⁻ is the nitrate radical (poly-atomic ion)
Hence copper (ii) nitrate

Darya [45]

Whales use their lower jawbone to the middle ear. whereby they can ear clearly while they are in the water. Human ears and dolphins ears they work the same . They receive sound directly from the air.

In similar way dolphins and human ears are placed in basic anatomical location which is same as on the head. Without a medium hearing is not possible.

The medium sound for human is air. Sound travels 343 meters per second in air and 147 meters per second in water. The most effective way of transmitting sound waves is through water.

We can say that the sound will be fast to travel in medium if the molecules are closer.
