Tiina Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I would like to name the following compound. I know: cation: silver(I) anion: hydrogendithionite I´m not sure but I would correlate the cation and the anion, so silver(I) hydrogendithionite. Can I do this?

chenbeier Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) You can do, but the (I) is not necessary, because silver normaly is Ag+. But I don't think this is existing. Dithionite is a strong reducer and would reduce silver immediately. Edited January 18, 2021 by chenbeier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiina Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Ok thank you. So I do not have to change the suffix to -ide (because anion) --> silver hydrogendithionide ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenbeier Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 ide is only used for single anions, like flouride F-, chloride Cl-, etc. ite and ate is used for more larger anions like sulfite SO3 2-, nitrate NO3 - etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
