AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on naming ionic compounds, specifically Ca(MnO4)2, Ba(HCO3)2, UO3, and NaH2PO4. The correct names are identified as calcium permanganate, barium hydrogen carbonate, uranium oxide, and sodium dihydrogen phosphate. The confusion arises from the use of "ide" in naming, which is typically reserved for binary compounds, while polyatomic ions do not follow this rule. Participants clarify that terms like hydride, carbide, and oxide apply only to compounds with two elements. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing polyatomic ions in naming conventions.

Homework Statement


It's been a minute since I've used this stuff.
Name the Ionic Compound

Ca(MnO4)2
Ba(HCO3)2
UO3
NaH2PO4

Homework Equations


In my book it says you name the cation first then add an Ide to the root.
In UO3 this seems to work as its Uranium Oxide.
But for the others I am not sure. When i look it up online it doesn't have the ide in the root.[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution


Calcium permanganide
Barium hydrogen carbonide
Uranium Oxide
Sodium dihydrogen phosphide
[/B]
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Manganide? Carbonide? Phosphide? If you have a doubt make a search on the name you thought off and see if it corresponds to the given compound.
 
I'm just wondering why those don't include ide at the end
 
Hydride, carbide, sulfide, oxide, chloride etc. are reserved for compounds made of two elements only.

Thank you :D Yes those are for polyatomic ions
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
