QuestionWhat is the correct name for the compound $\mathrm{CsMnO}_{4}$ ?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The compound is $\mathrm{CsMn}_{4}$ . The compound is anionic compound3. The compound follows the standard nomenclature rules forionic compounds

STEP 2

First, we need to identify the cation (positively charged ion) and the anion (negatively charged ion) in the compound. In anionic compound, the cation is usually the first element and the anion is usually the second element.
In $\mathrm{CsMn}_{4}$ , $\mathrm{Cs}$ is the cation and $\mathrm{Mn}_{4}$ is the anion.

STEP 3

Next, we need to name the cation. The cation is named as the element. In this case, $\mathrm{Cs}$ is Cesium.

STEP 4

Now, we need to name the anion. The anion is a polyatomic ion, which means it is a group of atoms that has a charge. Polyatomic ions have special names. In this case, $\mathrm{Mn}_{4}$ is Permanganate.

STEP 5

Finally, we combine the names of the cation and anion to get the name of the compound. The name of the cation comes first, followed by the name of the anion.
The correct name for the compound $\mathrm{CsMn}_{4}$ is Cesium Permanganate.
