Question

What is the chemical name of the compound Ti2O3? Use the list of polyatomic ions and the periodic table to help you answer.

Answer 1

The compound name of this chemical is Titanium(III) oxide

Answer 2

Explanation:

The given compound is $Ti_{2}O_{3}$. Here, there are two titanium atoms and three oxygen atoms which are combined chemically with each other.

The oxidation state of titanium is calculated as follows.

                           2x + 3(-2) = 0              (Since overall charge on the compound is zero)

                            2x = 6

                               x = +3

Therefore, we can conclude that name of compound $Ti_{2}O_{3}$ is Titanium(III) oxide.
