Question

enter the name for n₂s₅. spell out the full name of the compound.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the elements and their prefixes

The compound \( \ce{N2S5} \) consists of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S). For covalent compounds, we use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms. The prefix for 2 is "di-" and for 5 is "penta-".

Step2: Name the compound

The first element is nitrogen, with the prefix "di-" (since there are 2 N atoms), and the second element is sulfur, with the prefix "penta-" (since there are 5 S atoms) and the ending changed to "-ide". So we combine these to get the name.

Answer:

dinitrogen pentasulfide
