formula:
part d

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the compound name

The compound is dinitrogen pentoxide. "Di-" means 2, so there are 2 nitrogen atoms. "Penta-" means 5, so there are 5 oxygen atoms.

Step2: Write the chemical formula

Using the number of atoms for each element, the formula is \(N_2O_5\). Also, dinitrogen pentoxide is a molecular compound (it consists of molecules, not ions) since it is a covalent compound formed by non - metals (nitrogen and oxygen).

Answer:

Formula: \(N_2O_5\)
Type of Compound: Molecular
