Question

part 2 of 4
be(oh)₂
rb₂so₃
rubidium sulfite

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the compound

The compound given is \( \text{Be(OH)}_2 \). We need to name it.

Step2: Determine the cation and anion

The cation here is \( \text{Be}^{2+} \) (beryllium ion) and the anion is \( \text{OH}^- \) (hydroxide ion).

Step3: Name the compound

For ionic compounds with hydroxide ions, we use the name of the metal (cation) followed by "hydroxide". Beryllium is the metal here, so the name is beryllium hydroxide.

Answer:

Beryllium Hydroxide
