What is the chemical name of SnS2 ?
-
Tin(IV) sulfide
-
Tin(II) sulfide
-
Zinc sulphate
-
Zinc di-Sulphate
A
Correct answer
Explanation
SnS2 is Tin(IV) sulfide - Sn is Tin (not Zinc), and the +4 oxidation state balances with two sulfide ions (S2-). Tin(II) sulfide would be SnS, and options C and D incorrectly identify the element as Zinc and use sulfate instead of sulfide.
