Answer: The name of [tex]Zn(NO_2)_2[/tex] is zinc nitrite.
Explanation:
[tex]Zn(NO_2)_2[/tex] is an ionic compound because zinc element is a metal and nitrite ion is a polyatomic ion. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.
The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:
- Positive ion is written first.
- The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
- In case of polyatomic ions, the name of the ion is written as such. For Example: [tex]OH^-[/tex] is named as hydroxide, [tex]NO_2^{-}[/tex] is named as nitrite and so on..
Hence, the name of [tex]Zn(NO_2)_2[/tex] is zinc nitrite.
