Question

your answer is incorrect.

• row 1: name of compound: your answer is correct. however, the names of ionic compounds are only capitalized when they start a sentence or appear in titles
• row 2: name of compound: your answer is correct. however, the names of ionic compounds are only capitalized when they start a sentence or appear in titles
• row 3: name of compound: your answer is correct. however, the names of ionic compounds are only capitalized when they start a sentence or appear in titles
• row 4: name of compound: your answer is incorrect.

fill in the name and empirical formula of each ionic compound that could be formed from the ions in this table:

some ionic compounds

cation	anion	empirical formula	name of compound
co²⁺	clo⁻	co(clo)₂	cobalt(ii) hypochlorite
mn³⁺	bro₄⁻	mn(bro₄)₃	manganese(iii) perbromate
zn²⁺	po₄³⁻	zn₃(po₄)₂	zinc metaphosphate

Explanation:

Step1: Determine correct naming convention

Ionic compound names should only be capitalized at the start of a sentence or in titles. So we need to correct the capitalization of the compound names.

Step2: Correct the names

• For potassium sulfate, it should be "potassium sulfate".
• For cobalt(II) hypochlorite, it should be "cobalt(II) hypochlorite".
• For manganese(III) perbromate, it should be "manganese(III) perbromate".
• For zinc phosphate (the correct name for $Zn_3(PO_4)_2$ instead of "zinc metaphosphate"), it should be "zinc phosphate".

Answer:

cation	anion	empirical formula	name of compound
$Co^{2+}$	$ClO^-$	$Co(ClO)_2$	cobalt(II) hypochlorite
$Mn^{3+}$	$BrO_4^-$	$Mn(BrO_4)_3$	manganese(III) perbromate
$Zn^{2+}$	$PO_4^{3 - }$	$Zn_3(PO_4)_2$	zinc phosphate
