Questions and Answers

Question 1

What are the rules for naming simple covalent compounds? Provide an example of a compound and its name following these rules.

Answer 1

The rules for naming simple covalent compounds are: 1. Name the non-metal furthest to the left on the periodic table by its elemental name. 2. Name the other non-metal by its elemental name and an -ide ending. 3. Use the prefixes mono-, di-, tri-.... to indicate the number of that element in the molecule. 4. If mono is the first prefix, it is understood and not written. An example of a compound and its name following these rules is carbon tetrachloride, which has the formula CCl4.

Question 2

What is the difference between naming schemes for simple covalent compounds and naming schemes for ionic compounds?

Answer 2

The difference between naming schemes for simple covalent compounds and naming schemes for ionic compounds is that simple covalent compounds are made up of non-metals, while ionic compounds are made up of a metal and a non-metal. Signup and view all the answers

Repetition in Question-Answer Sequence

The sequence of questions and answers is repeated twice.
The same three questions (Question 1, Question 2, Question 3) are asked in the same order, with the same answers (Answer 1, Answer 2, Answer 3) provided each time.
There is no variation or deviation in the questions or answers across the two iterations.
