Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The name of the given molecular model has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
For naming a compound from the given molecular formula, first it has to be classified as molecular ot ionic. If the given molecular formula of the compound contains only non-metals, then the compound is molecular. Molecular compounds are named using the Greek prefixes with the elements in the same order as in the formula. The more metallic element is written first followed by other.
