Interpretation:
For each name, the formula and for each formula, the name is to be written. Dinitrogen pentasulfide, tetrasilicon hexahydride, iodine heptafluoride, I4O9, Br3O8, PF5
Concept introduction:
The elements are found as single atom particles in the universe. For example, the element which exists in the gas phase as single atoms at temperatures is Helium and the element which found in the solid phase is Lithium. The elemental symbol is used to denote this one atom elements and further explain that these atoms are uncombined in nature. The elements which are in between metals and non-metals are denoted as metalloids or semi metals. Usually, most of the compounds are found by the combination of one metalloid and one non-metal or two non-metals. These compounds are collectively designated as binary molecular compounds. In other words, binary molecular compounds are composed of two elements having different nature and both may be non-metals. In order the name the binary molecular compounds, the notation of o at the end of prefix -mono is applied.
