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.

- The “Chemistry in Focus” segment Sugar of Lead discusses Pb(C2H3O2)2 , which originally was known as sugar of lead. Why was it called sugar of lead? What is the systematic name for Pb(C2H3O2)2? Why is it necessary to have a system for the naming of chemical compounds?arrow_forwardcan you please help me with this question ? this questions seems difficultarrow_forwardings ools Molecular compounds are usually composed solely of nonmetals. A binary molecular compound is one in which the compound contains only two elements (regardless of how many atoms are present of each). When naming binary molecular compounds, prefixes are used to specify the number of atoms of each element. Take a moment to review some of the prefixes shown here. Prefix Number mono di nona one three tetra four penta five hexa six hepta seven octa eight nine deca two ten For example, SF6 is named sulfur hexafluoride. Note that the prefix mono is not used in naming the first element. Also note that the second element in the name should end with the suffix ide. ▼ Part A Using the rules for naming molecular compounds described in the introduction, what is the name for the compound PC15?
