Answer
Brief Explanations:
- For $B_2H_6$, prefix 'di -' for 2 boron atoms and 'hex -' for 6 hydrogen atoms, named diborane.
- For $H_2Se$, hydrogen is named first, and selenium is named as an anion 'selenide', named hydrogen selenide.
- For $PCl_3$, prefix 'tri -' for 3 chlorine atoms, named phosphorus trichloride.
