Write the chemical formulae compound lead(2)trioxonitrate(5) using the rules for writting chemical formulae
Answered by bobpursley
Pb(NO3)2
Lead is +2, N is +5
Answered by DrBob222
I believe the correct way to write this is lead(II) nitrate. The 2 should be (II) and the 5 is not needed nor is the trioxo. prefix. Nitrate is nitrate in any language and is NO3^-. I saw a post recently about tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid which is a ridiculous way to name H2SO4 or sulfuric acid.

Bob, you gotta take a look at current texts. They are going IUPAC wild, abandoning the common names. I hate it.

Bob P. I got it but the last text I looked in didn't have anything like that. Before I retired I taught the Stock System which the IUPAC has modified to make it their own but I haven't seen anything that says I must call NO3^ a trioxonitrate(V) ion-. Nitrate TELLS you it is NO3^-., by definition. The trioxo is not needed nor is the (V) to identify it as NO3^-. If that is the latest honest to God answer them I'm sorry I ever became a chemist. I'm OK with iron(II) sulfate or iron(III) sulfate or carbon(II) or carbon(IV) oxide or ...........Excuse me but I need to leave this. I'm sick of it.
