Question

write the name of each of the following binary compounds of nonmetallic elements. remember that for this type of compound of nonmetals, numerical prefixes are used to indicate how many of each type of atom are present. however, if only one atom of the first element mentioned in the compound is present in a molecule, the prefix mono - is not needed. question 1 1 pts krf₂ edit view insert format tools table 12pt paragraph

Explanation:

For binary compounds of non - metallic elements, we use prefixes to denote the number of atoms. The first element is named as the element itself (without the 'mono -' prefix if there is one atom). The second element gets the '-ide' suffix. In \(KrF_2\), there is 1 krypton (\(Kr\)) atom (so no prefix for \(Kr\)) and 2 fluorine (\(F\)) atoms. The prefix for 2 is 'di -'.

Answer:

Krypton difluoride
