What name should be used for the ionic compound Cu(NO3)2?

<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

Cnidarians and Ctenophores are alike in the following way: a) they are scavengers and parasites. b) they are both diploblastic.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Options B.

They are both diploblastic.

Explanation:

Cnidarians are group of aquatic animals that live both in fresh water and Marine water. They are distinguished by the possession of specialized cells called cnidocytes for capturing prey. They are radially symmetrical and have two body layers ectoderm and endoderm separated by jelly layer called mesoglea.

Examples are Hydra, corals, sea anemone and jelly fish.

Ctenophores are phylum of Marine animals that are found in every where. They are characterized by vast of cilia which is use for swimming. They are bilaterally symmetrical , they have mouth and don't have anus. They don't have respiratory, excretory and circulatory system. They are diploblastic i.e they have two body layers but some are triploblastic.

Sterols are a subset of steroids, a type of hormone.

Triglycerides are the fats and oils that you are familiar with in foods. This type of lipid can be saturated or unsaturated, which is part of what makes them solid or liquid, respectively, at room temperature.
