Answer

a. Barium sulfide. b. Iron (III) chloride. c. Lead (IV) iodide. d. Strontium bromide.

Work Step by Step

a. Ba can only form $Ba^{2+}$ (Second column of periodic table). According to table 3.2, the anion name for sulfur is 'sulfide'. Therefore: $BaS$: Barium sulfide. b. Iron can form $Fe^{3+}$ or $Fe^{2+}$ Determine its charge: Chlorine has a charge of $-1$. In this molecule: $3 \times -1 = -3$. To balance that, Fe must have a charge of $+3$. According to table 3.2, the anion name for Chlorine is 'chloride'. Therefore: $FeCl_3$: Iron (III) chloride. c. Lead can form $Pb^{2+}$ or $Pb^{4+}$. Calculate the charge of the Pb ion: Iodide has a charge of $-1$, with a total of $4 \times -1 = -4$. To balance that, Pb must have a charge of $+4$. According to table 3.2, the anion name for iodine is 'iodide'. Therefore: $PbI_4$: Lead (IV) iodide. c. Sr can only form $(Sr^{2+})$ According to table 3.2, the anion name for bromine is 'bromide'. Therefore: $SrBr_2$: Strontium bromide.
