Question

1. name the compound with the formula n₂o.

nitrogen dioxide

nitrogen oxide

dinitrogen monoxide

nitric acid

the compound carbon dioxide is formed from two nonmetals. what is the fundamental type of chemical bond that holds this compound together?

ionic

covalent

metalic

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• In naming covalent compounds, the prefixes indicate the number of atoms. For \(N_2O\), "di -" (prefix for 2) is used for nitrogen (\(N\)) as there are 2 nitrogen atoms, and "mono -" (prefix for 1) is used for oxygen (\(O\)) as there is 1 oxygen atom.
• For the second question:
• Covalent bonds form between non - metals. Carbon (\(C\)) and oxygen (\(O\)) are non - metals. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons. Ionic bonds form between metals and non - metals (involving electron transfer), and metallic bonds form between metal atoms.

Answer:

1. C. dinitrogen monoxide
2. B. covalent
