    What is the name of the compound KCl

    Explanation
    The name of the compound KCl is Potassium Chloride. KCl is formed by the combination of the elements potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl). In chemical nomenclature, the name of an ionic compound is determined by the cation (in this case, potassium) followed by the anion (chloride). Therefore, the correct name for KCl is Potassium Chloride.

    What is the formula for Sodium Fluoride?

    Explanation
    The formula for Sodium Fluoride is NaF. Sodium Fluoride is formed by the combination of one sodium atom (Na) and one fluorine atom (F). The symbol Na represents sodium, which is an alkali metal, and the symbol F represents fluorine, which is a halogen. When these two elements react, they form an ionic compound with the formula NaF, where the sodium atom donates its electron to the fluorine atom, resulting in the formation of a sodium cation (Na+) and a fluoride anion (F-).

    What is the formula for Mercury Oxide

    Explanation
    Mercury Oxide is represented by the chemical formula HgO. This formula indicates that the compound is composed of one mercury (Hg) atom and one oxygen (O) atom. The symbol "Hg" represents the element mercury, while "O" represents oxygen. The subscript "1" is not explicitly written, as it is understood that there is only one atom of each element in the compound. Therefore, the formula HgO accurately represents the composition of Mercury Oxide.

    What is the name of the compound Mg3N2?

    Explanation
    Mg3N2 is the chemical formula for Magnesium Nitride. Magnesium Nitride is a compound formed by the combination of Magnesium (Mg) and Nitrogen (N). The subscript 3 indicates that there are three magnesium atoms, and the subscript 2 indicates that there are two nitrogen atoms present in the compound. Therefore, the correct name for the compound Mg3N2 is Magnesium Nitride.

    What is the name of the compound HI?

    Explanation
    The compound HI is named hydrogen iodide. This is because it consists of one hydrogen atom (H) and one iodine atom (I). In chemical nomenclature, the name of a binary compound like this is determined by combining the names of the elements present, with the name of the cation (hydrogen) followed by the name of the anion (iodide). Therefore, the correct name for the compound HI is hydrogen iodide.
