Martije has made a slight error in naming a compound monocarbon tetrabromide. What compound is she most likely naming, and what is its correct name? C1B4 (monocarbon tetrabromide) C1Br4 (monocarbon tetrabromide) CB4 (carbon tetrabromide) CBr4 (carbon tetrabromide)

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]CBr_4[/tex] : carbon tetrabromide

Explanation:

[tex]CBr_4[/tex] is a covalent compound because in this compound the sharing of electrons takes place between carbon and bromine. Both the elements are non-metals. Hence, it will form covalent bond.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

1. The less electronegative element is written first.

2. The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

3. If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

Hence, the correct name for [tex]CBr_4[/tex] is carbon tetrabromide.
