If the metal in the ionic compound is a transition element (with variable charge metal ions), the ionic charge is written as a Roman numeral following the element name of the cation. Name the ionic compound CuF2.

Respuesta :

Answer : The name of ionic compound is, Copper(II) fluoride.

Explanation :

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

3. In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in-front of positive ions.

  • [tex]CuF_2[/tex]

[tex]CuF_2[/tex] is an ionic compound because copper element is a metal and fluorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The oxidation state of copper in [tex]CuF_2[/tex] is, (+2)

Thus, the name of ionic compound is, Copper(II) fluoride.
