A binary compound is a compound that is composed of only two elements. Many binary compounds could be made up of a metal and a nonmetal or even two nonmetals as the case may be. Examples of binary compounds include; SO2, NaH, K2S etc.

We must note that a binary covalent compound uses Roman numerals to indicate the oxidation state of the central atom in the compound. For instance, SO2 is called Sulfur IV oxide.

Hence, the IUPAC name for a binary covalent compound lack prefixes such as mono, di, tri tetra etc.

Answer:

Answer in simplified form is - 10 1/2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

(5 1/4) ÷ (- 2 1/2)

This can be simplified as :

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2)

Since 5 1/4 = 21/4 and -2 1/ 2 = -5/2

So we can write,

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2) = 21/4 ÷ ( - 5/2)

or (21/4) / (-5/2)

or ( 21/4) * (-2/5)

or -42/20

or -21/10

or - 10 1/2 , this is the answer

Hence we get answer in simplified form as -10 1/2
