Its a long legal process but it will eventually be able to change its name and SS number if need be.
I2 is a nonpolar covalent because it doesn't have only 2 atoms.
-ide
A fluorine atom can never form a nonpolar covalent bond because if you were to use the electronegativeity chart and subtract the second highest number with Fluorine, you get numbers that range from 0.6 (polar covalent) to 3.3 (ionic).

The name of the compound CBr4 is Carbon Tetrabromide. The ending of the second element is changed from 'ine' to 'ide'. Since this is a covalent compound of two nonmetals, the 4 is used on the bromide.

Covalent compounds are named by first looking at how many atoms the first element in a molecule has. We'll use H2O as an example (although it is commonly known as water). Since the H contributes two atoms to the molecule it has the prefix di-. If it had one it would be mono-, three, tri-, etc. The second element also follows that same rule, however, the ending is changed as well. In the case of oxygen, the -ygen is taken off and replaced by -ide. Therefore, the molecule H2O is also known as dihydrogen oxide.
H2O is a covalent compound. As hydrogen has only one electron in its outer most shell and oxygen has six electrons in its last shell. Oxygen needs two, while hydrogen requires only one electron to complete its last octave. So oxygen form two covalent bond with two hydrogen atoms. So, water is a covalent compound, but as oxygen is second most electronegative element in the periodic table so due to its high electronegativity the bond no more remains pure covalent, but converted to polar covalent. Hence, water molecule is a polar covalent compound.
Covalent bonds are the second strongest
No. It is neither organic nor a molecule. Silicon dioxide consists only of silicon and oxygen. By definition, an organic compound must contain carbon. Second, silicon dioxide forms a covalent network rather than molecules.
