MolSynapse / Question bank / Basic Inorganic Nomenclature and Oxidation Number / Naming of oxyanions and hydrated salts

JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3bn140

Select ALL correct name-formula pairs (IUPAC names).

A $NaClO$ is sodium hypochlorite
B $Ca (ClO X_{3}) X_{2}$ is calcium chlorate
C $KClO X_{2}$ is potassium chlorate
D $KClO X_{4}$ is potassium perchlorate

Answer: A, B, D

ClO X^{-}

is hypochlorite,

ClO X_{3} X^{-}

chlorate and

ClO X_{4} X^{-}

perchlorate, so options 1, 2 and 4 are right.

KClO X_{2}

contains chlorite, not chlorate.
