There are certain rules to follow when naming covalent compounds. But first, let us look at the definition of Covalent Compounds.

<h3>What are Covalent Compounds?</h3>

When covalent bonds aid the creation of a molecule, in which the atoms have at least one similar pair of valence electrons, a covalent compound is said to have been formed.

A very common example is water (H₂O)

<h3>How are Covalent Compounds named?</h3>

To name a covalent compound, simply list the first element in the formula using the name of the element, then name the second element by adding the suffix "ide" to the stem of the second element's name.

If there is only one atom in the molecule of the first element, then no prefix should be added.

It is to be noted that if the second element in the compound is oxygen, then we should say:

monoxide instead of monooxide and
trioxide instead of troxide, all depending on how many atoms that are involved.

See the attached for the prefixes related to the various number of atoms in the compounds.

It is to be noted that the covalent compound to be named here is not stated hence the general answer.

A _____ change occurs when a substance changes phase. physical chemical nuclear

Tasya [4]

A physical change occurs when a substance changes phase.

For example, boiling pure water (H₂O) is physical change of substance (from liquid to gaseous state). In physical change, the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen can not be separated.

Sublimation of iodine (from solid to gas state) is also physical change.

Physical property can be observed and measured without any changes in molecular composition. The same substance is present before and after the change.
