How are molecular formula translate into binary covalent compounds names?
By changing the spelling to binary covalent compund.
What are molecule compounds?
Naming Binary Molecular CompoundsBinary molecular compounds are composed of only two elements. Examples are H2O, NO, SF6 etc. . Naming these binary compounds is a little bit more involved than naming salts. Why is this so? Molecular compounds are more difficult to name because the atoms combine through covalent and not ionic bonds. Therefore we cannot use the electrical neutrality rule for these compounds. Most molecular compounds are made from nonmetals. Sometimes these compounds have generic or common names (e.g., H2O is "water") and they also have systematic names (e.g., H2O, dihydrogen monoxide). The common name must be memorized. The systematic name is more complicated but it has the advantage that the formula of the compound can be deduced from the name. Simple binary compounds consist of only a few atoms. Systematic naming of these compounds follow the rules: * The elements , except for H, are are written in order of increasing group number (e.g., NO not ON) * The number of atoms of a given type is designated by a prefix such as di- , tri-, tetra- etc. (The exception to this rule is for the first atom: if the first atom is "mono" then no prefix for it is given.) (e.g., NO is nitrogen monoxide not mononitrogen monoxide)
What is the ending for names of all binary compound's?
i think that the ending for all names of binary compounds is ide. for example : NaCl is a binary ionic compound and it ends with and ide .
The systematic way to assign names to chemical compounds is called?
This is chemical nomenclature accepted by IUPAC.
Use systematic in a sentence?
The systematic names of plants.
What do names of binary compounds end with?
The second element's name is changed so that it ends in the suffix -ide.
Why do Greek prefixes appear in the names of ionic or covalent compounds?
Different compounds can be formed of the same elements, so the prefixes are needed to distinguish different binary compounds.
Do the names of a binary acid begin with the prefix bi?
The names of binary acids do not begin with bi. The names of binary acids being with the "hydro" prefix, then the root of the nonmetal element, then they end with "ic".
Why are systematic name preferred over common names?
Because the common names aren't very descriptive.
What is systematic naming?
Systematic name is a name given in a systematic way to one unique group, organism, object or chemical substance, out of a specific population or collection.Systematic names are usually part of a nomenclature.
What types of compounds use prefixes in the names?
covalent compounds use prefixes
What pairs names two methods of sexual reproduction a meiois and binary dission b mitosis and meiosis c mitosis and binary fission?
mitosis and binary fission
