Question

1. give the correct chemical name for the following chemical formula: b₅si.

Explanation:

The compound \(B_5Si\) is named by listing the elements in the order of their symbols. The first element is boron (\(B\)) and the second is silicon (\(Si\)). In naming binary compounds (compounds with two elements), we use the name of the first element as it is and the second element's name is modified to end with -ide. So, it is silicon boride.

Answer:

Silicon boride
