The name for the ternary ionic compound TiSiO3 is titanium(IV) silicate.
The name for the ternary ionic compound TiSiO3 is titanium(IV) silicate.
To determine the name, we first identify the cation and anion in the compound. The cation is Ti, which is titanium, and the anion is SiO3, which is the silicate ion. Since titanium can form multiple charges, we use Roman numerals to indicate the charge of the cation in parentheses after the name. In this case, the charge of titanium is +4, so it is written as titanium(IV).
The name of the anion, silicate, remains the same. Therefore, the name of the compound is titanium(IV) silicate.
