Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are trying to see how a binary covalent compound is named. A binary covalent compound comprises of only two elements held together by covalent bonds.

The first element retains its normal name whereas the second element has the suffix -ide added to it.

For instance, CO2 is named as carbon dioxide, HBr is named as hydrogen bromide etc.
