Question
what is the correct name for the molecule so? sulfur monoxygen sulfur monoxide sulfur oxide monosulfur monoxide
When naming binary covalent compounds (compounds formed between two non - metals), we use prefixes to indicate the number of each atom. The prefix "mono -" is used for one atom. In the molecule \(SO\), there is one sulfur (\(S\)) atom and one oxygen (\(O\)) atom. The suffix for the second element (oxygen in this case) is "-ide". So, we name it based on the elements and the number of atoms.
