Castillo · Answer 1

Question 1.

1. Name in same order as formula.

2. Drop the last syllable (or two) of last element and add - ide.

3. Add prefixes to each element to show how many of each.

Question 2.

A binary molecular compound is a substance composed of exactly two different elements, that cannot be simplified further by chemical means. Examples of binary compounds include H2O, H2S, and NH3.

Question 3.

The Major difference between binary acids and oxyacids is that oxyacids contain at least one oxygen atom in the molecule and binary acids do not contain oxygen. Binary acids have hydrogen and another non-metal element in the molecule. Examples of oxyacids are H2SO4, HNO3 etc. Examples of binary acids are HCl, HBr etc.

Question 4.

Step 1 - Nitrogen Oxygen

Step 2 - Nitrogen Oxide

Step 3 - Dinitrogen Tetraoxide

Question 5.

Iodic Acid - HIO3

Disulphur Trioxide - S2O3

Dinitrogen Monoxide - N2O

HydroFluoric Acid - HF
