To check if the given names are correct, we need to determine the correct composition and naming of each compound or ion. Let's break down each name and explain the correct answer.
1. CN-: Cyanide ion
- The formula CN- represents the cyanide ion, consisting of one carbon atom (C) and one nitrogen atom (N) with a -1 charge. The name "cyanide" is correct in this case.
2. H2O: Dihydrogen monoxide
- The formula H2O represents water, which consists of two hydrogen atoms (H) and one oxygen atom (O). The correct name is "water" or "dihydrogen monoxide."
3. ClO2: Chlorite
- The formula ClO2 represents chlorite, which consists of one chlorine atom (Cl) and two oxygen atoms (O). The given name "chlorite" is correct.
4. ClO4-: Perchlorate
- The formula ClO4- represents perchlorate, which consists of one chlorine atom (Cl) and four oxygen atoms (O) with a -1 charge. The given name "perchlorate" is correct.
5. N2O: Dinitrogen monoxide
- The formula N2O represents dinitrogen monoxide, which consists of two nitrogen atoms (N) and one oxygen atom (O). The name "dinitrogen monoxide" is correct.
6. GeF4: Germanium tetrafluoride
- The formula GeF4 represents germanium tetrafluoride, which consists of one germanium atom (Ge) and four fluorine atoms (F). The given name "germanium tetrafluoride" is correct.
7. SO32-: Sulfite
- The formula SO32- represents sulfite, which consists of one sulfur atom (S) and three oxygen atoms (O) with a -2 charge. The name "sulfite" is correct.
8. IF3: Iodine trifluoride
- The formula IF3 represents iodine trifluoride, which consists of one iodine atom (I) and three fluorine atoms (F). The given name "iodine trifluoride" is correct.
9. PO33-: Phosphite
- The formula PO33- represents phosphite, which consists of one phosphorus atom (P) and three oxygen atoms (O) with a -3 charge. The name "phosphite" is correct.
10. NH3: Ammonia
- The formula NH3 represents ammonia, which consists of one nitrogen atom (N) and three hydrogen atoms (H). The correct name is "ammonia" instead of "nitrogen dihydrogen."
11. ICl3: Iodine trichloride
- The formula ICl3 represents iodine trichloride, which consists of one iodine atom (I) and three chlorine atoms (Cl). The given name "iodine trichloride" is correct.
12. SF4: Sulfur tetrafluoride
- The formula SF4 represents sulfur tetrafluoride, which consists of one sulfur atom (S) and four fluorine atoms (F). The given name "sulfur tetrafluoride" is correct.
13. XeF4: Xenon tetrafluoride
- The formula XeF4 represents xenon tetrafluoride, which consists of one xenon atom (Xe) and four fluorine atoms (F). The given name "xenon tetrafluoride" is correct.
14. CO32-: Carbonate
- The formula CO32- represents carbonate, which consists of one carbon atom (C) and three oxygen atoms (O) with a -2 charge. The name "carbonate" is correct.
15. SO2: Sulfur dioxide
- The formula SO2 represents sulfur dioxide, which consists of one sulfur atom (S) and two oxygen atoms (O). The given name "sulfur dioxide" is correct.
16. I3-: Triiodide
- The formula I3- represents triiodide, which consists of three iodine atoms (I) with a -1 charge. The name "triiodide" is correct.
All the given names are correct except for NH3 (Nitrogen dihydrogen), which should be correctly named as ammonia.
