Answer:
Name an ionic compound by the cation followed by the anion. ... Covalent compounds are formed when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom.
Explanation:
Naming of ionic compounds
- Naming of an ionic compound is done by first writing the name of the cation and then the name of the anion with the suffix 'ide' in the end.
[tex]NaCl[/tex] - Sodium chloride
- If the anion present is polyatomic then the only name of polyatomic anion is used without suffix 'ide' in the end.
[tex]K_3PO_4[/tex] - Potassium phosphate
Naming of covalent compounds
- In the naming of a covalent compound is a number of atoms of each element in the compound are written in the name.
- It is done by writing the name of the first element in the formula followed by the prefix (number of atoms in a formula) and another element with the suffix 'ide' in the end.
- If more than a single atom of the first element is present then the prefix is also used with the first element's name.
[tex]B_2O_3[/tex] - diboron trioxide
[tex]CO[/tex] - carbon monoxide
