Answer: The ionic formula of compound is CoP and the name is cobalt phosphide.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here element Co is having an oxidation state of +3 called as Co^{3+} cation and phosphprous forms P^{3-} anion with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral CoP

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first followed by the oxidation state of metal in roman numerals in square brackets.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

Thus the name of CoP is cobalt phosphide.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Sodium atom have one valance electron by losing this one valance electron sodium atom get the complete octet. Chlorine atom has seven valance electrons and needed to lose seven valance electrons or to get one electron and thus complete the octet. It is very easy for chlorine atom to get one electrons instead of losing all seven electron. Thus when it react with sodium it gain the valance electron of sodium and form ionic compound.

That's why only one atom of  sodium combine with one atom chlorine.

What is responsible for the sharp decrease in ionization energy between the elements with 2 and 3 atomic number? 10 and 11?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
An extra shell, which means further distance between those electrons in the valence shell and the nucleus. Ionisation energy refers to the energy required to remove valence electrons. There will be more energy required if the valence electrons are closer to the nucleus that have a positive charge, because of more attraction. If there is an extra shell, there is further distance, less attraction and hence less energy required.
