4. Naming Covalent Compounds Covalent compounds consist of Two non-metals

5. Prefixes-stand for the amount of atoms present 4141-- mono 4242-- di 4343-- tri 4-- tetra 4545-- penta 4 6-- hexa 4 7-- hepta 4 8-- octa 4 9-- nona 41410-- deca

6. 2 Steps to Naming Covalent Compounds 1. Name the first non-metal.

7. If there is only one atom present DO NOT use a prefix. If there is more than one atom present then you must use the correct prefix.

8. Examples: CO 2 Carbon N2O5N2O5 Dinitrogen

9. 2. Name the second non-metal using the correct prefix and an -ide ending

10. Examples: CO 2 N2O5N2O5 Carbon Dioxide Dinitrogen Pentoxide

11. You try... Cl 2 O

12. You try... Cl 2 O Dichlorine monoxide

13. CO Carbon Monoxide PCl 3 Phosphorus Trichloride CI 4 Carbon Tetriodide

14. Writing Molecular Formulas Phosphorous Trichloride PCl 3

15. N3N3 Trinitrogen CCl 4 Carbon Tetrachloride
