Interpretation:
An explanation as to how a binary molecular compound can be distinguished from a binary acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Binary molecular compounds are the compounds formed by the combination of two nonmetals. Binary acid is the aqueous solution of the compounds containing one element as hydrogen and other one as a nonmetal.
Answer to Problem 1CE
Binary acids are the aqueous solutions and are ultimately represented by the symbol
Explanation of Solution
Hydrogen is a nonmetal and there is a possibility that a binary molecular compound contains hydrogen and one nonmetal but still, it is not a binary acid. For example,
The special feature of binary acids is that they are represented by the symbol
Binary acids are the aqueous solutions and are represented by the symbol

A binary molecular compound is one in which the compound contains only two elements (regardless of how many atoms are present of each). When naming binary molecular compounds, prefixes are used to specify the number of atoms of each element. Take a moment to review some of the prefixes shown here. Prefix Number mono di nona one three tetra four penta five hexa six hepta seven octa eight nine deca two ten For example, SF6 is named sulfur hexafluoride. Note that the prefix mono is not used in naming the first element. Also note that the second element in the name should end with the suffix ide. ▼ Part A Using the rules for naming molecular compounds described in the introduction, what is the name for the compound PC15?
