Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.28 Covalent Formula Writing and Naming skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
In a mixed review, which item is most clearly a covalent naming task rather than an ionic charge-balancing task?
Awriting NaCl from sodium and chloride ions
Bbalancing Ca2+ with two Cl- ions
Cnaming FeCl3 with a Roman numeral
Dnaming N2O4 as dinitrogen tetroxide
Solution & Explanation:N2O4 is a molecular formula named with covalent prefixes, while the other choices involve ionic charges.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which pair best follows the convention for the second element ending in a binary covalent name?
ACS2 = carbon disulfur
BCS2 = carbon sulfite
CCS2 = carbon disulfide
DCS2 = carbon sulfuride
Solution & Explanation:The second element sulfur changes to sulfide, and two sulfur atoms require the prefix di-.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Which option writes and names a binary covalent compound with ten fluorine atoms and two sulfur atoms?
AS10F2, decasulfur difluoride
BS2F10, disulfur decafluoride
CS2F10, sulfur decafluoride
DSF5, sulfur pentafluoride
Solution & Explanation:Two sulfur atoms give disulfur, and ten fluorine atoms give decafluoride, so the formula is S2F10.
