Question

4. Given the chemical formulas of the following compounds, name each compound and state the rules you used to determine each name.

• RbF
• CuO
• (NH4)2C2O4
(Note: C2O4– is called oxalate.)
Answer:

Answer 1

i honestly dont even kno

Answer 2

I am taking the same test! ;)

1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride

Change fluorine to fluoride

2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide

Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).

3. (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ --> Ammonium Oxalate

NH₄ is ammonia, but we change it to ammonium for poly atomic ions.

I hope this helps!
