Covalent CompoundsCovalent compounds are formed between
non-metals only
Nonmetals combine in more than one ratio therefore we must use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms in each element in the formula.
Prefixes are placed in front of the element name

Naming RulesThe first word is the name of the element
that appears first in the formula.
The prefix is placed before this name to indicate how many atoms of that element there are
The second word consists of:The appropriate prefix designating the number
of atoms of the second elementThe root of the name of the second elementThe suffix “ide”

Some Exceptions…When the first element would have the prefix
mono we do not put it in the nameEx: CO2 would be carbon dioxide
NOT monocarbon dioxide
When two a’s or o’s will appear next to each other we drop oneEx. CO would be carbon monoxide
NOT carbon monooxide
