Transcript text: Chapter 3 Graded Homework Question 16 of 20 ( 5 points) | Question Attempt: 1 of Unlimited Give the correct name for the following compounds. Part 1 of 4 \[ \mathrm{Cs}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3} \] Part 2 of 4 \[ \mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{CN})_{2} \]

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Naming the Compound in Part 1

The compound \(\mathrm{Cs}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\) consists of cesium (Cs) and the carbonate ion (\(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\)). Cesium is a Group 1 element and forms a +1 charge, while the carbonate ion has a -2 charge. Therefore, the name of the compound is cesium carbonate.

Step 2: Naming the Compound in Part 2

The compound \(\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{CN})_{2}\) consists of calcium (Ca) and the cyanide ion (\(\mathrm{CN}^{-}\)). Calcium is a Group 2 element and forms a +2 charge, while each cyanide ion has a -1 charge. Therefore, the name of the compound is calcium cyanide.
