part vi: name the following covalent compounds containing all nonmetals. remember to use prefixes.
part vii: write the formula for the following compounds.

Explanation:

• For naming covalent compounds:
• Use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of each element.
• The prefixes are: mono - 1, di - 2, tri - 3, tetra - 4, penta - 5, hexa - 6, hepta - 7, octa - 8, nona - 9, deca - 10.
• The second element ends with -ide.
• For writing formulas from names:
• Use the prefixes to determine the number of atoms of each element.
• Write the symbols of the elements with the appropriate subscripts.

Answer:

• Part VI:
• \(P_4O_{10}\): Tetraphosphorus decoxide
• \(PF_3\): Phosphorus trifluoride
• \(N_2O\): Dinitrogen monoxide
• \(Cl_2O_7\): Dichlorine heptoxide
• \(BI_3\): Boron triiodide
• \(SO_2\): Sulfur dioxide
• Part VII:
• Carbon monoxide: \(CO\)
• Sulfur trioxide: \(SO_3\)
• Diphosphorus trioxide: \(P_2O_3\)
• Sulfur hexafluoride: \(SF_6\)
• Silicon tetrachloride: \(SiCl_4\)
• Nitrogen monoxide: \(NO\)
