Question

enter the name for as₂s₃. spell out the full name of the compound.

Explanation:

To name the compound \( \text{As}_2\text{S}_5 \), we first identify the elements: Arsenic (As) and Sulfur (S). For binary compounds of non - metals, we use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms. The subscript of As is 2, so we use the prefix "di - " for arsenic, and the subscript of S is 5, so we use the prefix "penta - " for sulfur. The ending of the non - metal (sulfur) is changed to " - ide". So the name is diarsenic pentasulfide.

Answer:

diarsenic pentasulfide
