Concept Introduction:
The steps involved to name a molecular compound are as follows:
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 atom is 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 an acid starts with ‘hydro’ as the prefix followed by the name of the metal or non-metal with the use of ‘ic’ as a suffix.
