(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of selenium dioxide needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Most of the covalent compounds with two elements are named to indicate the identity and number of elements they contain. In the name of the covalent compound, the name of first non-metal is written first followed by the name of the second non-metal by adding suffix -ide. Prefixes are added to the name to show the number of atoms of each element.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula of carbon tetrachloride needs to be determined.

- Write the correct formula for the compounds formed by each of the following pairs of ions. AI3+ PO3 Ca²* CIO3 Pb4+ 0²-arrow_forwardClassify each of these chemical compounds: compound HI CH, CH₂OH PbCl₂2 type of compound (check all that apply) molecular ionic organic inorganic hydrocarbon molecular ionic organic inorganic hydrocarbon molecular ionic organic inorganic hydrocarbonarrow_forwardNaming 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 meansarrow_forward
- Name each ionic compound. In each of these compounds, the metal forms more than one type of ion. Spell out the full name of the compound. HgBr2 Fe2O3 CuI2arrow_forwardClassify each of these chemical compounds: type of compound (check all that apply) compound molecular ionic HF organic inorganic hydrocarbon molecular ionic Cu, SO, organic inorganic hydrocarbon molecular ionic (CH, ) o organic inorganic hydrocarbonarrow_forward7. Polyatomic ions combine in a similar way as the monatomic ions in that the charges must sum to zero. The only difference is that if more than one polyatomic ion is needed, a parenthesis is used and the subscripts are placed outside the parentheses. Write the formula of the compound formed by combining the following ions. Use the ion cut outs to help as needed. NO3 SO,2- PO43- NH4" Mg2+ Al3+arrow_forward
