Answer: (a) barium chloride :
(b) magnesium-nitride:
(c) sulfur dioxide :
(d) nitrogen trichloride :
(e) dinitrogen trioxide :
(f) tin(IV) chloride :
Explanation:
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'.
The naming of covalent compound is given by:
1. The less electronegative element is written first.
2. The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.
If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.
