question 6 (0.5 points)\ngive the best systematic name for the compound\nsebr6 __1__ __2__\na. selenium b. selenium (vi) c. monoselenium d. bromine\ne. bromide f. hexabromine g. hexabromide h. sia
Answer
Brief Explanations:
In naming binary molecular compounds, the first - named element is the less electronegative one (selenium, Se) and the second is the more electronegative (bromine, Br). The prefix for one atom of the first element is usually omitted. The prefix for six atoms of the second element is 'hexa -'. The second element has its ending changed to '-ide'. So for $SeBr_6$, the first part of the name is 'selenium' and the second part is 'hexabromide'.
Answer:
A. selenium G. hexabromide
