Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding the Naming Convention
Binary molecular compounds are named using prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of each element present in the compound. The prefixes are: mono- (1), di- (2), tri- (3), tetra- (4), penta- (5), hexa- (6), etc.
Step 2: Analyzing the Given Compounds
The table provides examples of binary molecular compounds with their names and chemical formulas:
