Question

complete the table below. some binary molecular compounds name chemical formula carbon monoxide carbon dioxide dichlorine monoxide carbon tetrachloride

Explanation:

Step1: Recall naming rules for binary molecular compounds

In binary molecular compounds, prefixes indicate the number of atoms of each element. "Mono -" is often omitted for the first element when there is one atom of it. "Di -" means 2, "tetra -" means 4.

Step2: Determine formula for carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide has one carbon and one oxygen atom, so the formula is $CO$.

Step3: Determine formula for carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide has one carbon and two oxygen atoms, so the formula is $CO_2$.

Step4: Determine formula for dichlorine monoxide

Dichlorine monoxide has two chlorine and one oxygen atom, so the formula is $Cl_2O$.

Step5: Determine formula for carbon tetrachloride

Carbon tetrachloride has one carbon and four chlorine atoms, so the formula is $CCl_4$.

Answer:

name	chemical formula
carbon dioxide	$CO_2$
dichlorine monoxide	$Cl_2O$
carbon tetrachloride	$CCl_4$
