Chapter 3: Problem 60

Assign suitable names to the compounds (a) ICl; (b) \(\mathrm{ClF}_{3} ;\) (c) \(\mathrm{SF}_{4} ;\) (d) \(\mathrm{Br} \mathrm{F}_{5} ;\) (e) \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4} ;\) (f) \(\mathrm{S}_{4} \mathrm{N}_{4}\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) Iodine monochloride; (b) Chlorine trifluoride; (c) Sulfur tetrafluoride; (d) Bromine pentafluoride; (e) Dinitrogen tetroxide; (f) Tetrasulfur tetranitride.

Step by step solution

01

Naming Binary Compounds Consisting of Two Nonmetals

For binary compounds, the element with the lower group number is written first in the name; if the elements are in the same group, the element with the higher period number is written first. The second element is named as though it were an anion. So, compound (a) ICl is named as Iodine monochloride.
02

Naming Compounds with More than Two Nonmetals

For compounds with more than two nonmetals, we use the prefixes mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, octa-, nona-, and deca- to denote the number of atoms of each element. Compound (b) \(\mathrm{ClF}_{3}\) is therefore Chlorine trifluoride, compound (c) \(\mathrm{SF}_{4}\) is Sulfur tetrafluoride, and compound (d) \(\mathrm{BrF}_{5}\) is Bromine pentafluoride.
03

Naming Binary Compounds with Subscripts

For binary compounds with a subscript on both elements, apply the same rules as in step 2. Therefore, compound (e) \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\mathrm{O}_{4}\) is Dinitrogen tetroxide, and compound (f) \(\mathrm{S}_{4}\mathrm{N}_{4}\) is Tetrasulfur tetranitride.
