Naming Covalent Compounds Objectives: 1.The name for covalent compounds with given formula 2.Give a formula for covalent compounds with given name
Covalent Cmpds Made of 2 anions (2 negatively charged ions) Identify the less EN element of the two (left and down— decreases) The 1 st nonmetal is given the name on the PT The second changes the ending to –ide…don’t change polyatomic Never use “criss-cross” to balance Use prefixes to show how many of each element are need
Number Prefix 1 Mono 2 Di 3 Tri 4 Tetra 5 Penta 6 Hexa 7 Hepta 8 Octa 9 Nona 10 Deca
Using prefixes Never use if the first element only has one
