(a)
Interpretation:
The formula for the given binary covalent compound is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The compounds which are formed by mixing a nonmetal or two nonmetal elements with one metalloid are known as binary covalent compounds.
The rules for naming the binary covalent compounds are as follows:
• The element’s name that has the lower electronegativity will be written first.
• The element that has the higher electronegativity, its stem name is written first followed by the addition of the suffix –ide at the end.
• The number of same elements is represented by the prefix like, mono for

- Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Describe how electronegativity is illustrated on the periodic table including trends between groups and periods and significance of atom size.arrow_forwardDefine the term “transition.” How does this definition apply to the transition metals?arrow_forwardDescribe how the properties of the different types of elements (metals, nonmetals, metalloids) differ.arrow_forward
- Use a textbook or other valid source to research the physical and chemical properties of each element listed in Data Table 1 using the following as a guideline: Ductile (able to be deformed without losing toughness) and malleable (able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking) or not ductile or malleable Good, semi, or poor conductors of electricity and heat High or low melting and boiling points Occur or do not occur uncombined/freely in nature High, intermediate, or low reactivity Loses or gains electrons during reactions or is not reactivearrow_forwardProvide the Physical and Chemical Properties of Elements of the following elements listedarrow_forwardQuestions 4 and 5arrow_forward
