the prefix can provide information towards the geometric shape of the chemical (how molecules are laid out).
The prefix is used for the name of multiples and submultiples.
The Greek prefix used to represent the anion is "an-", meaning "not" or "without." Anions are negatively charged ions that typically gain electrons during chemical reactions.
A Diplo
The prefix "hydro" is used when the name of the acid ends in "ic." For example, HCl is hydrochloric acid.
The chemical name of the substance used in the experiment is sodium chloride.
The chemical name for AlCl is aluminum chloride. It is a chemical compound made up of aluminum and chlorine atoms in a 1:1 ratio. Aluminum chloride is commonly used in industrial processes and as a catalyst in organic reactions.
The prefix "cis-" is used in the name of a stereoisomer to indicate that the functional groups are on the same side of the double bond.
The Roman numeral following the cation tells you the oxidation number of that cation. For example, Cu(ll)chloride tags you it is CuCl2 because the (ll) after Cu indicates an ox. no. of 2+.
No prefix is used if it is an ionic compound. If it is a binary molecular compound, the prefix mono- is not used in front of the name of the first element. For example, the ionic compound Na2O is sodium oxide, not disodium monoxide, and the molecular compound CO2 is carbon dioxide, not monocarbon dioxide.
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.
