What is the name of the compound nic03 * 8h20?

The answer is :

Nickel II carbonate octahydrate

The explanation:

-when Ni is the symbol of Nickel.

and CO3 is the symbol of carbonate group.

and both have 2 valence so, it will be write 2:2 = 1:1 → NiCO3 named Nickel caronae.

and any compound contain H2O will be named Hydrate and here we have 8 H2O so, i will e named octa (because of his 8 ) octahydrate

so, the compound will be Nickel II carbonate octahydrate

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

i'm assuming that the correct answer is indeed the first one/ "a"..
