(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of selenium dioxide needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Most of the covalent compounds with two elements are named to indicate the identity and number of elements they contain. In the name of the covalent compound, the name of first non-metal is written first followed by the name of the second non-metal by adding suffix -ide. Prefixes are added to the name to show the number of atoms of each element.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula of carbon tetrachloride needs to be determined.

We must use prefixes to specify how many of each element are present in the formula. A prefix is used for each element except when the first element has only one. Never start the name with "mono". See examples below. The following prefixes are used in covalent compounds: Formula Name nitrogen dioxide dinitrogen trioxide NO2 mono- means 1 N203 di- means carbon tetrachloride tri- means 3 dichlorine monoxide Cl20 S2C12 tetra- means 4 disulfur dichloride penta- means hexa- 5 meansarrow_forwardClassify each of these chemical compounds: type of compound (check all that apply) compound molecular ionic HF organic inorganic hydrocarbon molecular ionic Cu, SO, organic inorganic hydrocarbon molecular ionic (CH, ) o organic inorganic hydrocarbonarrow_forward
