Question

write the name for each of the following ionic compounds. part 1 of 2 na₂s part 2 of 2 k₃n

Explanation:

Step1: Identify cation and anion

In $Na_2S$, sodium ($Na^+$) is the cation and sulfide ($S^{2 -}$) is the anion.

Step2: Name the compound

Name the cation first followed by the anion. So it is sodium sulfide.

Step3: For $K_3N$

Potassium ($K^+$) is the cation and nitride ($N^{3 -}$) is the anion.

Step4: Name the second - compound

Name the cation first then the anion, resulting in potassium nitride.

Answer:

Part 1 of 2: Sodium sulfide
Part 2 of 2: Potassium nitride
