12 Questions
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.
Question 3
What are some other naming schemes mentioned in the text?
Answer 3
The text mentions naming schemes for acids, organic compounds, and simple covalent compounds.
Question 1
What are the rules for naming simple covalent compounds?
Answer 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.
Question 2
What is the difference between naming schemes for ionic compounds and covalent compounds?
Answer 2
Ionic compounds are made up of a metal combined with a non-metal, while covalent compounds are made up of non-metals.
Question 3
What is the name of the compound N2O4?
Answer 3
Dinitrogen monoxide.
