Question

Strong bases such as NaOH follow the ionic IUPAC naming convention. Predict the name of this ternary compound.

Answer 1

Sodium Hydroxide

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:Hence, the name of the NaOH is Sodium hydroxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

In strong base NaOH is made up of three element sodium , oxygen and hydrogen.

NaOH dissociates is into cation and anion in its aqueous solution:

`NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^++OH^-`

While naming the ternary compound:

• First write the name of cation present, here the cation is of sodium that
  `Na^+`.
• followed by space then write name of the anion , here anion present in a polyatomic anion that
  `OH^-`, the name of this polyatomic anion is hydroxide.

Hence, the name of the NaOH is Sodium hydroxide.
