b

IF7\text{IF}_7

Step-by-step solution

5 steps

Part a· 2 steps

  1. Identify the elements and their charges.

    Aluminum (Al\text{Al}) is a metal from Group 13, forming a Al3+\text{Al}^{3+} ion. Sulfur (S\text{S}) is a nonmetal from Group 16, forming a S2−\text{S}^{2-} ion.

  2. Combine the cation and anion names.

    The cation is named first, followed by the anion with an "-ide" suffix. Since aluminum is a main group metal with a fixed charge, no Roman numeral is needed.

    The name of the compound Al2S3\text{Al}_2\text{S}_3 is aluminum sulfide.

Part b

IF7\text{IF}_7

  1. Identify the elements and prefixes.

    The name "iodine heptafluoride" indicates the elements iodine (I\text{I}) and fluorine (F\text{F}).

  2. Determine the number of atoms for each element from the prefixes.

    "Iodine" implies one iodine atom (the prefix "mono-" is usually omitted for the first element). "Heptafluoride" indicates seven fluorine atoms (hepta- means 7).

  3. Write the chemical formula.

    Combine the symbols and subscripts.

    The formula for iodine heptafluoride is IF7\boxed{\text{IF}_7}.
