(a)
Interpretation:
Formula for the silicon dioxide should be written.
Concept Introduction:
Most of the covalent compounds with two elements are named to indicate the identity and the number of elements they contain.
Initially, the first nonmetal is named by its element name and the second using the suffix -ide.
The prefixes are added to show the number of atoms of each element.
(b)
