Naming Covalent Molecules

Naming Covalent Molecules. JUST like ionic, but use prefixes. Put a prefix in front of the ion name (except if it is mono- for the first element, then just leave it off) CF 4 = carbon t etra fluoride CO 2 = carbon di oxide N 2 H 4 = di nitrogen tetra hydride

  1. Naming Covalent Molecules

  2. JUST like ionic, but use prefixes Put a prefix in front of the ion name (except if it is mono- for the first element, then just leave it off) CF4 = carbon tetrafluoride CO2 = carbon dioxide N2H4 = dinitrogen tetrahydride N2O3 = dinitrogen trioxide

  3. Weird naming with double vowels • When (ao) or (oo) bump up against each other drop the first one • NOT decAOxide ---- decoxide • NOT monOOxide ---- monoxide • NOT pentAOxide ---- pentoxide • Hexaiodide is correct!!! • Diiodide is correct!!! • Dioxide is correct!!! • Trioxide is correct!!!
