To name a type I binary ionic compound when given a formula, you use the names of the metal cation followed by the non-metal anion. The metal cation keeps its element name, while the non-metal anion drops its ending and changes to “-ide.” For example, NaCl is named sodium chloride.
The compound with the formula HgF is mercury(I) fluoride.
No, knowing the formula of a compound is necessary in order to calculate its percent composition. The percent composition is calculated by dividing the mass of each element in the compound by the total molar mass of the compound, which requires knowing the formula to determine the number of atoms of each element present.
The name of the ionic compound MgO2 is magnesium peroxide.
The molecular formula of the compound is C2H4, which has a molar mass of 28 g/mol. Since the given compound has a molar mass of 42.0 g/mol, it must include an additional CH2 group, resulting in the molecular formula C2H6.
Water's chemical formula is given in the question.
You should solve for an empirical formula when you are given the percent composition of elements in a compound or when you have the molar mass of the compound but not the molecular formula. The empirical formula provides the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
The empirical formula is representative for the chemical composition of a compound; the structural formula is representative for the spatial structure of the compound.
The compound with the formula HgF is mercury(I) fluoride.
1. Write a chemical symbol for each element mentioned in the order given in the name. 2. Add subscripts according to prefixes in the name.

No, binary compounds ending in "ite" typically indicate the presence of a polyatomic ion, not the second element in the compound's formula. The suffix "ite" usually signifies a compound containing a negatively charged polyatomic ion that has one fewer oxygen atom compared to the corresponding "ate" ion.
Chocolate pudding is a complex mixture, not a compound with a given chemical formula.
The given compound does not exist if there are twelve carbon atoms before hydrogen atoms then it will be the formula for sugar.
No, knowing the formula of a compound is necessary in order to calculate its percent composition. The percent composition is calculated by dividing the mass of each element in the compound by the total molar mass of the compound, which requires knowing the formula to determine the number of atoms of each element present.
The name of the ionic compound MgO2 is magnesium peroxide.
Naming Binary Molecular CompoundsBinary molecular compounds are composed of only two elements. Examples are H2O, NO, SF6 etc. . Naming these binary compounds is a little bit more involved than naming salts. Why is this so? Molecular compounds are more difficult to name because the atoms combine through covalent and not ionic bonds. Therefore we cannot use the electrical neutrality rule for these compounds. Most molecular compounds are made from nonmetals. Sometimes these compounds have generic or common names (e.g., H2O is "water") and they also have systematic names (e.g., H2O, dihydrogen monoxide). The common name must be memorized. The systematic name is more complicated but it has the advantage that the formula of the compound can be deduced from the name. Simple binary compounds consist of only a few atoms. Systematic naming of these compounds follow the rules: * The elements , except for H, are are written in order of increasing group number (e.g., NO not ON) * The number of atoms of a given type is designated by a prefix such as di- , tri-, tetra- etc. (The exception to this rule is for the first atom: if the first atom is "mono" then no prefix for it is given.) (e.g., NO is nitrogen monoxide not mononitrogen monoxide)
