Naming Binary Molecular Compounds

Concept #1: Binary Molecular Compounds

Concept #2: Rules for Naming Binary Molecular Compounds

Molecular Compounds require numerical prefixes because compounds can combine in many different proportions.

Example #1: Write the formula for each of the following compounds.

a. Disulfur monochloride
b. Tetraphosphorus pentaselenide
c. Dibromine heptoxide

Practice: Give the systematic name for the following compound: SeF6

Practice: Give the systematic name for the following compound: IO5

Practice: Give the systematic name for the following compound: N2S4
