∙ 10y agoFirstly C3H6 is not an ion it is an alkene, called propene or propylene, or alternatively it is a cyclic hydrocarbon called cyclopropane. Greek prefixes are used for pentane (C5 compounds) and above. Ion? I am not sure what is being asked.

What is the covalent compound C3H6 the Greek prefix used to represent the cation is?
This question does not make sense. However, C3H6 is the Alkene , 'propene'. The prefix use to indicate the number of carbons is 'prop'
In the covalent compound CO2 the greek prefix used to represent the anoin is?
Ll
Do you use the prefix mono for the first element of a binary covalent compound?
No, you do not. The prefix -mono in front of the first element of a binary covalent compound is dropped. For example, if we take the molecular compound CO, we do not call it "Monocarbon Monoxide". It is called "Carbon Monoxide".
What is the compound name XeF6?
The name for XeF6 is xenon hexafluoride. The Greek prefix hexa- means six. Since Xe has no subscript, it is understood to be one, and the prefix mono- is not used for the first element in a binary covalent compound.
Is xenon tetrafluoride ionic or covalent?
Covalent, because Xenon (non-metal) and Fluoride (non-metal) and the tetra is a prefix meaning four. Non-metal+non-metal= covalent bonds.

Using silicon dioxide as an example and the periodic table as a reference.describe how to to write the formula of a covalent compound.?
You use the prefix of the words to write the formula for a covalent compound, example "di-" is the prefix and it is 2.
Do you use the prefix mono for the first element of a binary covalent compound?
No, you do not. The prefix -mono in front of the first element of a binary covalent compound is dropped. For example, if we take the molecular compound CO, we do not call it "Monocarbon Monoxide". It is called "Carbon Monoxide".

Is xenon tetrafluoride ionic or covalent?
Covalent, because Xenon (non-metal) and Fluoride (non-metal) and the tetra is a prefix meaning four. Non-metal+non-metal= covalent bonds.
Is nitrogen trifluoride a covalent bond?
Covalent because it has Tri as a prefix and it shares electrons.
Use complete sentences to explain why AlCl3 is called “aluminum chloride” (no prefix required), but BCl3 is called “boron trichloride.”?
Ionic compounds do not have prefixes but covalent compounds have prefixes. “Aluminum chloride” is a ionic compound and "boron tri-chloride” is a covalent compound.
A binary ionic compound is made of two components Name one of them?
A binary compound will contain atoms of only two elements. If the binary compound only contains nonmetal elements its name will begin with the prefix tetra.
What is the covalent compound formula for iodine Pentagon fluoride?
The molecular formula for iodine pentafluoride is IF5. No prefix in front of iodine is understood to be one, but mono- is not used for the first element in a binary covalent compount. The prefix penta- means five, so the subscript for fluoride is 5. Unfortunately, there is no way to write the 5 as a subscript.
When naming a compound what gets changed about the first element?
That depends on whether it is an ionic or covalent compound. If ionic, the first element has the same name as the element or ion, e.g. NaCl is sodium chloride; NH4Cl is ammonium chloride. If the compound is covalent, then the first element either retains its original name or has a prefix to denote the number of atoms of that element. For example, CO2 is carbon dioxide; P2O5 is di phosphorous pentoxide.
Name for PCl5?
Triphosphate Hexachloride
