Question

NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!! NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!

Directions: Name the covalent compound created.
EXAMPLE- Sr3P2= Tristrontium diphosphide

CH4 =
B2Si =
N2O5 =
CO2 =

Answer 1

The covalent compound created by CH4 is methane. The covalent compound created by B2Si is diboron silicide. The covalent compound created by N2O5 is dinitrogen pentoxide. The covalent compound created by CO2 is carbon dioxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

The covalent compound created by CH4 is called methane. In methane, one carbon atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms.

The covalent compound created by B2Si is called diboron silicide. In diboron silicide, two boron atoms are bonded to one silicon atom.

The covalent compound created by N2O5 is called dinitrogen pentoxide. In dinitrogen pentoxide, two nitrogen atoms are bonded to five oxygen atoms.

The covalent compound created by CO2 is called carbon dioxide. In carbon dioxide, one carbon atom is bonded to two oxygen atoms.

Answer 2

CH4 - Methane

B2Si - Diboron monosilicide

N2O5 - Dinitrogen pentoxide

CO2 - Carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

When it comes to naming covalent compounds, there are several rules.

The name is derived based on the formula. For example, N2O5. The first element is nitrogen. To the name of the element, you add the prefix that tells us how many of its atoms are in the compound. In this case, there are two atoms, which means that the prefix will be di- (dinitrogen). The second element is oxygen. You are supposed to take only the root of the second element's name and then add the prefix denoting the number of its atoms and the suffix -ide (pentoxide). This is how we'll get dinitrogen pentoxide.

The only exception is methane (CH4), which is an organic compound. Organic compounds are named using the IUPAC nomenclature.
