Lesson 7 Formula Names and Model of Covalent Compound
S O3
SO3
Example
Diphosphorus pentoxide
P2 O5
P2O5
Rule Binary Covalent Compound
➢First word: least electronegative non-metal
➢Second word: more electronegative non-
metal
➢Prefixes-used to denote quantity of each
element
❑(prefix + element root + ide)
Rule Binary Covalent Compound
➢ If there is only one of the first element do not
put mono
e.g.: carbon monoxide (not monocarbon
monoxide)
➢ If the nonmetal starts with a vowel, drop the
vowel ending from all prefixes except di and tri
e.g. monoxide not monooxide
tetroxide not tetraoxide
Example
N2O5
Carbon tetrachloride
