Chapter 6, Problem 50E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The formula for the binary molecular compound chlorine dioxide is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A binary molecular compound is composed of two nonmetal elements. The simplest representative particle in a binary molecular compound is a molecule. Generally, the more nonmetallic element is written second in the chemical formula. The general order of the elements in compound which is prescribed by IUPAC is $\text{C,}\text{P,}\text{N,}\text{H,}\text{S,}\text{I,}\text{Br,}\text{Cl,}\text{O,}\text{F}$ and the compounds are to be written according to the above order.
