Question

6-10. What are the name of the following compounds? a. Ca(OH)2 b. Fe(OH)2 c. Zn(OH)2

Answer 1

a. calcium hydroxide
b. iron (II) hydroxide
c. zinc hydroxide

Explanation:

Generally, `"OH"` adds "hydroxide" to an inorganic compound's name.

Moreover, element names aren't capitalized unless at the beginning of a sentence.

We write iron(II) hydroxide instead of just iron hydroxide as iron takes the form of its `+2` oxidation state, out of its `10` oxidation states.
