Question

Write down the name of the compound represented by the formula $\mathbf{Ca}{\mathbf{\left(}{\mathbf{NO}}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{\right)}}_{\mathbf{2}}$ along with its constituent ions.

Answer 1

Identify constituents ions of $\mathbf{Ca}{\mathbf{\left(}{\mathbf{NO}}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{\right)}}_{\mathbf{2}}$:

1. $\mathbf{Ca}{\mathbf{\left(}{\mathbf{NO}}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{\right)}}_{\mathbf{2}}$ contains one calcium ion $\left({\mathrm{Ca}}^{2+}\right)$ and two Nitrate ions$\left({\mathrm{NO}}_3^{-}\right)$.
2. Thus, the constituent ions of $\mathbf{Ca}{\mathbf{\left(}{\mathbf{NO}}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{\right)}}_{\mathbf{2}}$ are calcium and Nitrate ions.

Write the name of $\mathbf{Ca}{\mathbf{\left(}{\mathbf{NO}}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{\right)}}_{\mathbf{2}}$:

1. The constituent ions of $\mathbf{Ca}{\mathbf{\left(}{\mathbf{NO}}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{\right)}}_{\mathbf{2}}$ are calcium and Nitrate ions.
2. Thus, the name of $\mathbf{Ca}{\mathbf{\left(}{\mathbf{NO}}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{\right)}}_{\mathbf{2}}$ is Calcium nitrate.
