Question
a. if₇
b. p₂o₅
c. n₂o₅
which shows the correct names for these compounds?
a. iodide heptafluorine
b. diphosphorus pentaoxide
c. dinitride pentaoxygen
a. iodine heptafluoride
b. pentaphosphorus dioxide
c. pentanitrogen dioxide
For binary covalent compounds, prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element. In $IF_7$, 'hepta -' means 7 and it is iodine heptafluoride. In $P_2O_5$, 'di -' for 2 and 'penta -' for 5, so it is diphosphorus pentaoxide. In $N_2O_5$, it is dinitrogen pentoxide.
