### Binary Molecular Compound Naming Exercise

#### Question:
Name the following binary molecular compounds:

(a) CCl₄  
(b) ClO₂  
(c) N₂O  
(d) N₂O₃

#### Explanation:
Binary molecular compounds are composed of two different nonmetal elements. Naming these compounds involves using prefixes to indicate the number of each type of atom present in the compound. Below are the rules for naming binary molecular compounds:

1. **The prefixes used are:**
   - 1: mono-
   - 2: di-
   - 3: tri-
   - 4: tetra-
   - 5: penta-
   - 6: hexa-
   - 7: hepta-
   - 8: octa-
   - 9: nona-
   - 10: deca-

2. **Steps for naming:**
   - The first element in the formula is named first, and uses its full elemental name.
   - The second element is named as if it were an anion (root name + -ide), regardless of the number of atoms.
   - Prefixes are used to denote the number of atoms of each element present.
   - The prefix “mono-” is not used for the first element.

#### Solutions:
(a) CCl₄: Carbon tetrachloride  
(b) ClO₂: Chlorine dioxide  
(c) N₂O: Dinitrogen monoxide  
(d) N₂O₃: Dinitrogen trioxide
