The answer to this question is coded in the name of the compound itself: "di"
means 2 and "octa"
means 8. Therefore, the formula is Si2N8.
Note that di- means 2 so the empirical formula is SiO2.
C2O5 Just look at the latin roots (di, pent >> 2, 5)
dinitrogen pentaoxide: This IS the formula name for the chemical formula N2O5, sometimes called nitrogen pentoxide (without 'di' and pent without 'a').From Latin: 'di' = two and 'penta' = five
You use the prefix of the words to write the formula for a covalent compound, example "di-" is the prefix and it is 2.
H2F Di is the prefix for 2, so there are two hydrogen atoms and one fluorine atom. Hope that helps?
SF6 is the chemical formula for sulfur hexafluoride.Sulfur hexafluoride is a compound with the formula SF6.
Formula: CO2
Note that di- means 2 so the empirical formula is SiO2.
C2O5 Just look at the latin roots (di, pent >> 2, 5)
The chemical formula of sulfur dioxide is SO2 (not mono and di in the same name !).
Ag2O
disilicon hexaiodide
di hi so calif do nis
The chemical name for water is di-hydrogen monoxide, in line with the formula H2O.
SiO2, the clue is the 'di' suffix before the word oxide , meaning two.
The formula for Heptasulfur Dioxide is S7O2.
The Silicon di-oxide acts as a dielectric which forms a capacitor.
