2. For this question you will assume that you have discovered two new elements. You choose the letters L and R as their symbols. Select names for the elements and use the names you pick for parts a) and b). You will not be graded on the names you select for L and R. For parts a) and b) you will need to use the rules for naming covalent and ionic compounds that are given in this course. Name of element L:. Name of element R:, (Use your first name if you cannot think of a name.) (Use your last name if you cannot think of a name.) a) Element L is a nonmetal. It sits lower and to the left of sulfur on the periodic table. The formula for the covalent compound it forms with sulfur is L3S4. • Name this covalent compound, L3S4, using the name you chose for L.
b) Element R is a metal and can form cations of multiple charges. The element can exist both as R* and R²+ ions. • Predict the formula of the ionic compound that would form between R2+ and nitrogen. • Name this ionic compound using the name you chose for R
