Concept Introduction:
The steps involved to name a molecular compound are as follow:
First, identify that the given compound involves the combination of two non-metals or a non-metal and a metalloid.
Identify the
Start the name with the name of the first element in the compound.
If more than one atoms are present, use prefixes as di, tri, and tetra.
Then, state the root name of the second element with a proper suffix.
The naming representation for acid starts with ‘hydro’ as the prefix followed by the name of metal or non-metal with the use of ‘ic’ as a suffix.

Explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds has the highest mass percent of chlorine? (a) BCl3 (b) AsCl3 (c) GaCl3 (d) AlCl3 (e) PCl3arrow_forward89 A number of compounds containing the heavier noble gases, and especially xenon, have been prepared. One of these is xenon hexafluoride (XeF6), which can be prepared by heating a mixture of xenon and fluoride gases. XeF6 is a white crystalline solid at room temperature and melts at about 325 K. A mixture of 0.0600 g of Xe and 0.0304 g of F2 is sealed into a 100.0-mL bulb. (The bulb is heated, and the reaction goes to completion. Then the sealed bulb is cooled back to 20.0°C. What will be the final pressure in the bulb, expressed in torr?arrow_forward
