The name of the compound {\text{C}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}{\left( {{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right)_3} is \boxed{{\text{chromium }}\left( {{\text{III}}} \right){\text{ carbonate}}}.

Further explanation:

An ionic compound is formed when there occurs complete transfer of electrons between the bonded atoms. Atoms that lose electrons form cations whereas that gain electrons forms anions. Cations are positively charged ions and anions are negatively charged ions.ns.

An ionic compound is named by naming its cation first and then by its anion.

Naming of cations:

1. The main group cations are named the same as the name of their corresponding elements. For example, {\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^ + } is named sodium cation.

2. The transition metals cations are named similar to the main group elements. The only difference is that the charge of transition metal cations is written in parenthesis after the name of the cation. For example, {\text{C}}{{\text{u}}^{2 + }} is named copper (II) cation.

3. The polyatomic cation is named by adding suffix “ium”.

Naming of anions:

1. The suffix “ide” is added when a monoatomic anion is formed by an element. For example, {{\text{H}}^ - } is named as a hydride.

2. When two oxyanions are formed by a single element, the oxyanion with fewer oxygen atoms is written with suffix “ite” and that with more oxygen is named with suffix “ate”. For example, {\text{NO}}_2^ - is named nitrite while {\text{NO}}_3^ - is named nitrate.

3. If a series of oxyanions are formed by an element, prefix “hypo” is used when fewer oxygen atoms are present and prefix “per” is used if more oxygen atoms are present. For example, {\text{Cl}}{{\text{O}}^ - } is named hypochlorite while {\text{ClO}}_4^ - is named as perchlorate.

The given compound is {\text{C}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}{\left( {{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right)_{\text{3}}}. Since Cr is a transition metal so its oxidation state has to be written parantheses.

The expression to calculate the oxidation state in {\text{C}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}{\left( {{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right)_{\text{3}}} is:

\left[ {2\left( {{\text{oxidation state of Cr}}} \right) + 3\left( {{\text{oxidation state of C}}} \right) + 9\left( {{\text{oxidation state of O}}} \right)} \right] = 0     … (1)

Rearrange equation (1) for the oxidation state of Cr.

{\text{Oxidation state of Cr}} = \dfrac{{\left[ { - 3\left( {{\text{oxidation state of C}}} \right) - 9\left( {{\text{oxidation state of O}}} \right)} \right]}}{2}        …… (2)  

Substitute +4 for the oxidation {\text{state}} of C and -2 for the oxidation state of O in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Oxidation state of Cr}} &= \frac{{\left[ { - 3\left( { + {\text{4}}} \right) - 9\left({ - {\text{2}}} \right)} \right]}}{2}\\&= \frac{{ - 12 + 18}}{2}\\&=+ 3\\\end{aligned}  

Therefore the oxidation state of Cr in {\text{C}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}{\left( {{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right)_{\text{3}}} is +3.

The formula of any compound is formed by crisscross rule. So the charge on the anion will be -2 and the corresponding anion is {\text{CO}}_3^{2 - } whose name is carbonate. Therefore the name of the given compound is chromium (III) carbonate.

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound XCl_{2}, it can be broken down into X^{2+} and 2Cl^{-}. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.

A 0.0100 M solution of AgNO3 has a concentration of Ag ion equivalent to
qaws [65]

Answer:

0.0100M of AgNO3 contains 0.0100M of Ag+

Explanation:

AgNO3 when ionized yields Ag+ and NO3-. This means that the amount of AgNO3 in solution is equivalent to the amount of Ag+ and NO3- in that same solution.

1M of AgNO3 solution produces 1M of Ag+  

1M of AgNO3 solution produces 1M of NO3-

This occurs because of the complete ionization of AgNO3 in solution, allowing complete dissolution of the compound.
