Naming Covalent Compounds
Although the names end in "-ide", naming for covalent is
different than for ionic. We must use prefixes to specify
how many of each element are present in the formula. A
prefix is used for each element except when the first
element has only one. Never start the name with "mono".
See examples below.
The following prefixes are
used in covalent compounds:
Formula
Name
nitrogen dioxide
dinitrogen trioxide
NO2
mono-
means
1
N203
di-
means
carbon tetrachloride
tri-
means
3
dichlorine monoxide
Cl20
S2C12
tetra-
means
4
disulfur dichloride
penta- means
hexa-
5
means
