name the compound

[Tiina]

I would like to name the following compound.

I know:

cation: silver(I)

anion: hydrogendithionite

 

I´m not sure but I would correlate the cation and the anion, so silver(I) hydrogendithionite. Can I do this?

You can do, but the (I) is not necessary, because silver normaly is Ag+.

But I don't think this is existing. Dithionite  is a strong reducer and would reduce silver immediately.

Ok thank you.

So I do not have to change the suffix to -ide (because anion) --> silver hydrogendithionide ?

[chenbeier]

ide is only used for single anions, like flouride F-, chloride Cl-, etc.

ite and ate is used for more larger anions like sulfite SO3 2-, nitrate NO3 - etc.

Ok thank you so the correct name is silber hydrogendithionite. 

[chenbeier]

In English its silver hydrogen  dithionite.

In German Silberhydrogendithionit.
