Concept Introduction:
The steps involved to name a molecular compound are as follow:
First, identify that the given compound involves the combination of two non-metals or a non-metal and a metalloid.
Identify the
Start the name with the name of the first element in the compound.
If more than one atoms are present, use prefixes as di, tri, and tetra.
Then, state the root name of the second element with a proper suffix.
The naming representation for acid starts with ‘hydro’ as the prefix followed by the name of metal or non-metal with the use of ‘ic’ as a suffix.

- Explain how an experiment involving a mixture of KCl and KClO3 heated together, illustrates the law of conservation of mass.arrow_forwardhow much S03 is formed when 0.50 mol of SO2 and 1.00 mol NO2 are in 1.00L at 821 C. Kc= 6.85?arrow_forwardThe illustration to the left represents a mixture of nitrogen ( blue ) and hydrogen ( light blue ) molecules.arrow_forward
- Compounds such as Freon® 112 (referred to as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs) were used as refrigerants for many years, but they were phased out because of their harmful effects on Earth's atmosphere. Write the molecular and empirical formulas for Freon 112. The Lewis dot structure of Freon 112. There are two central carbon atoms bonded together through a single bond. Each carbon atom is bonded to two chlorine atoms and one fluorine atom through single bonds. Each chlorine atom has 3 lone pairs. Each fluorine atom has 3 lone pairs.arrow_forwardUse covalent Lewis structures to explain why element (or family of elements) occurs as diatomic molecules.
