  1. Covalent Compounds

  2. Rules for Naming Covalent Compounds 1. Prefixes are used to show how many atoms of each element are present in the compound Prefixes used for Naming Binary Covalent Compounds

  3. 2. Second element is written with an –ide ending. ***All binary compounds, both ionic and covalent end in –ide. 3. The vowel at the end of the prefix is dropped when the name of the element begins with the same vowel. Example: monoxide, not monooxide Rules for Naming Covalent Compounds

  4. 4. Mono is omitted if there is just a single atom on the first element in the name. Example: carbon dioxide not monocarbon dioxide Rules for Naming Covalent Compounds

  5. Diatomic Molecules “BrINCl HOF” There are 7 nonmetals that exist in nature as diatomic molecules. Di-Atomic Formula: Br2 I2 N2 Cl2 H2 O2 F2 (means 2) atoms How to Remember-

  6. Writing Formulas From Names Write the formulas for the following compounds. 1. carbon monoxide CO 2. nonacarbon tetrachloride C9Cl4 3. hexabromine dioxide Br6O2 4. phosphorus trichloride PCl3 5. octanitrogenpentafloride N8Fl5

  7. Naming Binary Compounds (Covalent) Carbon monoxide Sulfur dioxide Dinitrogen monoxide Carbon tetrachloride Dinitrogenpentaoxide N2O4 OF2 Dinitrogentetraoxide Oxygen difluoride 1. CO 2. SO2 3. N2O 4. CCl4 5. N2O5
