Solution

The compound with the formula you provided, which seems to include nickel and chlorate or hypochlorite, must be analyzed based on the oxidation states of nickel in the compound.

  1. Identify the Oxidation States:

    • Nickel can have multiple oxidation states, primarily +1 and +2 in its compounds.
    • Chlorate (ClO₃⁻) carries a -1 charge.
  2. Consider the Possible Names:

    • "Nickel(I) chlorate" implies nickel is in the +1 oxidation state.
    • "Nickel(III) hypochlorite" implies nickel is in the +3 oxidation state and hypochlorite (ClO⁻) has a -1 charge.
  3. Determine Which Name Corresponds to the Formula:

    • If you are dealing with a formula that indeed has nickel in the +1 oxidation state and chlorate (ClO₃⁻), the correct name would be “nickel(I) chlorate.”
    • If the formula includes hypochlorite (ClO⁻) and nickel in the +3 oxidation state, the name would be “nickel(III) hypochlorite.”

Final Answer

Based on the analysis of the provided names and expected oxidation states, the correct systematic name would depend on the specific compound. If the compound has nickel in the +1 state with chlorate, it is nickel(I) chlorate. If it has nickel in the +3 state with hypochlorite, it is nickel(III) hypochlorite. Please clarify the specific formula for more precise identification.
