Agclo3 Compound Name

AgClO3 is a compound composed of three elements: silver (Ag), chlorine (Cl), and oxygen (O). The name of the compound, according to IUPAC nomenclature rules, is silver chlorate.

To derive the name, we first need to determine the charge on each ion. Silver is a Group 1A metal, so it has a +1 charge. Chlorine is a Group 7A nonmetal, so it has a -1 charge. Oxygen is a Group 6A nonmetal, so it also has a -2 charge.

Since the compound is neutral overall, we can determine the number of ions needed by balancing the charges. In this case, we need one Ag+ ion and one ClO3- ion to balance the charges. The ClO3- ion is composed of one chlorine atom and three oxygen atoms, with a total charge of -1.

To name the compound, we use the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion with its ending changed to "-ate". Therefore, the name of the compound is "silver chlorate".
