Question

1. give the correct chemical name for the following chemical formula: n₂s₃.

Explanation:

• For naming binary covalent compounds (compounds between non - metals like \(N\) and \(S\) here), we use prefixes.
• The prefix for \(2\) is “di -” (for \(N_2\), so “dinitrogen”).
• The prefix for \(3\) is “tri -” (for \(S_3\), so “trisulfide”).
• Combine them to get the name “dinitrogen trisulfide”.

Answer:

Dinitrogen trisulfide
