Question

32 name the compound p₄s₃. 33 write the formula for carbon tetrachloride.

Explanation:

32. Naming \(P_4S_3\)

Step1: Identify the elements

The elements in the compound are phosphorus (\(P\)) and sulfur (\(S\)).

Step2: Use prefixes for sub - scripts

Since there are 4 phosphorus atoms, the prefix is "tetra -" and 3 sulfur atoms, the prefix is "tri -".
The name of the compound is tetraphosphorus trisulfide.

33. Writing the formula for carbon tetrachloride

Step1: Identify the elements and their prefixes

Carbon (\(C\)) has no prefix (implied 1) and "tetra -" for chlorine (\(Cl\)) means 4 chlorine atoms.
The formula is \(CCl_4\).

Answer:

1. Tetraphosphorus trisulfide
2. \(CCl_4\)
