Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Among the given compounds, the binary ionic compounds has to be chosen.
Concept Introduction:
An ionic compound has two elements one is metal and another one is non-metal. The metal ion has always positive charge and the non-metal ion has always negative ion called binary compounds.
Example:
The following rule can be used for the naming of binary ionic compounds. The full name of the metallic element is given first, followed by a separate word containing the stem of the metallic element name and the suffix –ide.
