Naming Covalent Compounds
Below are the rules for naming covalent compounds.
Below are the rules for naming covalent compounds.
Rules for Naming Covalent Compounds 1. The first element is named first, using the elements name. 2. Second element is named as an Anion (suffix "-ide") 3. Prefixes are used to denote the number of atoms 4. "Mono" is not used to name the first element Note: when the addition of the Greek prefix places two vowels adjacent to one another, the "a" (or the "o") at the end of the Greek prefix is usually dropped; e.g., "nonaoxide" would be written as "nonoxide", and "monooxide" would be written as "monoxide". The "i" at the end of the prefixes "di-" and "tri-" are never dropped. |
