Binary molecular (covalent) compounds are formed as the result of a reaction between two nonmetals. Although there are no ions in these compounds, they are named in a similar manner to binary ionic compounds. The\u00a0nomenclature\u00a0of binary covalent compounds follows these rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The first element in the formula is given first, using the element\u2019s full name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The second element is named as if it were an anion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Prefixes are used to denote the numbers of atoms present. If the first element exists as a single atom, the prefix mono-<\/em> is omitted. For example, CO is called carbon monoxide rather than monocarbon monoxide.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These examples show how the rules are applied for the covalent compounds formed by nitrogen and oxygen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    compound<\/th>systematic name<\/th>common name<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    N2<\/sub>O<\/td>dinitrogen monoxide<\/td>nitrous oxide (laughing gas)<\/td><\/tr>
    NO<\/td>nitrogen monoxide<\/td>nitric oxide<\/td><\/tr>
    NO2<\/sub><\/td>nitrogen dioxide<\/td><\/td><\/tr>
    N2<\/sub>O3<\/sub><\/td>dinitrogen trioxide<\/td><\/td><\/tr>

    N2<\/sub>O5<\/sub><\/td>dinitrogen pentoxide<\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    To\u00a0avoid\u00a0awkward pronunciations, the final\u00a0o<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0a<\/em>\u00a0of the prefix is often dropped when the element name begins with a vowel. For example, N2<\/sub>O4<\/sub>\u00a0is referred to as dinitrogen tetroxide, not dinitrogen tetraoxide, and CO is called carbon monoxide, not carbon monooxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
