Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Ions

The table provides the ions involved in the compound:

  • \( \mathrm{B}^{3+} \) is the boron ion with a +3 charge.
  • \( \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-} \) is the nitrate ion with a -1 charge.
Step 2: Determine the Chemical Formula

To form a neutral compound, the total positive charge must balance the total negative charge. Since the boron ion has a +3 charge and the nitrate ion has a -1 charge, three nitrate ions are needed to balance one boron ion:

\[ \mathrm{B}^{3+} + 3 \times \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{B}(\mathrm{NO}_{3})_{3} \]

Step 3: Name the Compound

The compound formed is named by stating the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion. Therefore, the name of the compound is "Boron Nitrate."

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Boron Nitrate}}\)
