The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the names of the given compounds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. NBr\u2083<\/strong> \u2013 Nitrogen tribromide<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. S\u2082Cl\u2082<\/strong> \u2013 Disulfur dichloride<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Br\u2083O\u2088<\/strong> \u2013 Tribromine octoxide<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    These names follow the systematic naming rules for molecular (covalent) compounds<\/strong>, which consist of nonmetals<\/strong> bonded together via covalent bonds. The naming rules are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. The first element keeps its name<\/strong>, while the second element\u2019s name is modified to end in “-ide.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Prefixes indicate the number of atoms<\/strong> of each element in the compound. The prefixes are:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Mono-<\/strong> (1) (usually omitted for the first element)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Di-<\/strong> (2)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Tri-<\/strong> (3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Tetra-<\/strong> (4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Penta-<\/strong> (5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Hexa-<\/strong> (6)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Hepta-<\/strong> (7)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Octa-<\/strong> (8)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Nona-<\/strong> (9)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Deca-<\/strong> (10)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Application of Rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Nitrogen tribromide (NBr\u2083)<\/strong>: “Tri-” means three bromine atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Disulfur dichloride (S\u2082Cl\u2082)<\/strong>: “Di-” means two sulfur and two chlorine atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Tribromine octoxide (Br\u2083O\u2088)<\/strong>: “Tri-” for three bromine and “Octa-” for eight oxygen atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Sulfur hexafluoride (SF\u2086)<\/strong>: “Hexa-” for six fluorine atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Tetraphosphorus decaoxide (P\u2084O\u2081\u2080)<\/strong>: “Tetra-” for four phosphorus and “Deca-” for ten oxygen atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Diiodine pentoxide (I\u2082O\u2085)<\/strong>: “Di-” for two iodine and “Penta-” for five oxygen atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Diboron tetrachloride (B\u2082Cl\u2084)<\/strong>: “Di-” for two boron and “Tetra-” for four chlorine atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Xenon hexafluoride (XeF\u2086)<\/strong>: “Hexa-” for six fluorine atoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Silicon disulfide (SiS\u2082)<\/strong>: “Di-” for two sulfur atoms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
