Question

question attempt: 1 of 3
give the formula for each of the following compounds:
part 1 of 4
carbon disulfide:
part 2 of 4
dinitrogen monoxide:

Explanation:

Part 1 of 4: Carbon Disulfide

Step 1: Identify elements and prefixes

Carbon (C) has no prefix (implies 1), disulfide means 2 sulfur (S) atoms.

Step 2: Combine symbols with subscripts

Carbon (1) and sulfur (2), so formula is $CS_2$.

Step 1: Identify elements and prefixes

Dinitrogen means 2 nitrogen (N) atoms, monoxide means 1 oxygen (O) atom.

Step 2: Combine symbols with subscripts

Nitrogen (2) and oxygen (1), so formula is $N_2O$.

Answer:

$CS_2$

Part 2 of 4: Dinitrogen Monoxide
