How you would name the molecule N2O4?
The molecule ##N_2O_4## would be dinitrogen tetroxide.
For molecular (covalent) the name is determined by the numeric prefixes based upon the number of atoms of each element in the molecule.
mono = 1
di =2
tri = 3
tetra = 4 (If you play Tetris, four blocks for each piece)
penta = 5
hexa = 6
hepta = 7
octa = 8
nona = 9
deca = 10
The “a” at the end of the prefix is dropped if the next letter is an “o”. Thus the name is “tetroxide”, not “tetraoxide”.
The molecule ammonia ##NH_3## is nitrogen trihydride.
I hope this was helpful.
