the correct names for n₂o₅ and no₂ are:
- nitrogen hexoxide and mononitrogen dioxide
- dinitrogen pentoxide and nitrogen dioxide
- dinitrogen tetroxide and mononitrogen dual oxide
- nitrogen pentoxide and nitrogen dioxide
Brief Explanations
For naming covalent compounds like \(N_2O_5\) and \(NO_2\), we use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms. For \(N_2O_5\), "di -" (for 2 nitrogen atoms) and "penta -" (for 5 oxygen atoms) gives diNitrogen pentoxide. For \(NO_2\), since there is 1 nitrogen atom (prefix "mono -" is often omitted for the first element) and 2 oxygen atoms ("di -"), it is Nitrogen dioxide.
