Drupady [299]

<span>It is the valence orbit that controls the electrical properties of the atom. The valence electron is referred to as a "free electron.' Valence electrons have the highest energy of all electrons in an atom; they are also the most reactive, meaning they are usually the electrons involved in bonding. When silicon atoms combine to form a solid, they arrange themselves into an orderly pattern called a crystal.</span>

In naming the compound PCl5, the prefix used with the second element is ____________________.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Hepta}}$

Explanation:

We are given the formula:

$PCl_5$

This is a molecular formula, because it contains nonmetals.

1. Name the first element

The first element is phosphorous (P). Since this is the first element and there is only one, we don't need a prefix.

Phosphorous

2. Second element

The second element is chlorine (Cl). It has a subscript of 5, so we must add the prefix of <u>hepta</u>-.

Phosphorous heptachlorine

Add the ending of -ide.

Phosphorous heptachloride

The prefix used for the second element is hepta. The compound name is phosphorous heptachloride.
