which substance has a chemical name ending in check description

Question

which substance has a chemical name ending in - ide? A-H2SO3 B-TiCl4 C- ZnSO4 D- HClO

Answer 1

TiCl4 would have an -ide ending. This is because it is the anion in an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are made of a metal and nonmetal. The nonmetal in this case would be Cl4. The name of the entire compound is Titanium Tetrachloride, Titanium is Ti. Tetra is the prefix because there are 4 chlorides. The ide ending is because it is an ionic compound.
