Answer:
Copper ( II ) chloride
Explanation:
According to the nomenclature ,
- The metal ion name is followed by the non-metal ion
- The oxidation state of the metal is to be mentioned in the brackets .
- As [tex]CuCl_{2}[/tex] has two [tex]Cl^-[/tex] ions , and the net charge on the compound is zero , the charge on copper is :
[tex]Cu^{x}+2Cl^-=0\\x-2=0\\x=2+[/tex]
thus ,
⇒[tex]Cu^{2+}[/tex]
∴ ,
The proper nomenclature is :
Copper ( II ) chloride
