Question

complete the table below.
some binary molecular compounds
name\tchemical formula
carbon tetrafluoride
nitrogen trifluoride
dinitrogen tetrafluoride
chlorine monofluoride

Explanation:

Step1: Recall naming rules for binary molecular compounds

Prefixes indicate the number of atoms of each element. "Tetra -" means 4, "Tri -" means 3, "Di -" means 2, "Mono -" is usually not used for the first - named element.

Step2: Determine formula for carbon tetrafluoride

Carbon is C and fluorine is F. Tetrafluoride means 4 fluorine atoms, so the formula is $CF_4$.

Step3: Determine formula for nitrogen trifluoride

Nitrogen is N and fluorine is F. Trifluoride means 3 fluorine atoms, so the formula is $NF_3$.

Step4: Determine formula for dinitrogen tetrafluoride

Dinitrogen means 2 nitrogen atoms (N) and tetrafluoride means 4 fluorine atoms (F), so the formula is $N_2F_4$.

Step5: Determine formula for chlorine monofluoride

Chlorine is Cl and fluorine is F. Monofluoride means 1 fluorine atom, so the formula is $ClF$.

Answer:

name	chemical formula
nitrogen trifluoride	$NF_3$
dinitrogen tetrafluoride	$N_2F_4$
chlorine monofluoride	$ClF$
