  • Scandium(III) Perchlorate: Name, Formula & Properties
    The compound with the formula Sc(ClO4)3 is called Scandium(III) perchlorate.

    Here's why:

    * Scandium (Sc) is the metal cation with a +3 charge.

    * Perchlorate (ClO4-) is the polyatomic anion with a -1 charge.

    * To balance the charges, we need three perchlorate ions for every scandium ion.

    Therefore, the correct name is Scandium(III) perchlorate.
