Chemical formulas oxoanions

D.20 The formal rules of chemical nomenclature result in a certain compound used for electronic components being called barium titanate(IV), in which the oxidation state of titanium is +4. See if you can work out its likely chemical formula. When you have identified the rules for naming oxoanions, suggest a formal name for H,S04. 

Write the chemical formulas for the following acids. Then name and write the formulas for the oxoanions that form from each acid. Refer to Chapter 3, Table 3.5, Names and Valences of Some Common Polyatomic Ions, as necessary. 

Chemical formulas describe the simplest atom ratio (empirical formula), actual atom number (molecular formula), and atom arrangement (structural formula) of one unit of a compound. An ionic compound is named with cation first and anion second. For metals that can form more than one ion, the charge is shown with a Roman numeral. Oxoanions have suffixes, and sometimes prefixes, attached to the element root name to indicate the number of oxygen atoms. Names of hydrates give the number of associated water molecules with a numerical prefix. Acid names are based on anion names. Covalent compounds have the first word of the name for the element that is leftmost or lower down in the periodic table, and prefixes show the number of each atom. The molecular (or formula) mass of a compound is the sum of the atomic masses in the formula. Molecules are depicted by various types of formulas and models.
