Answer :

(a) The name for NaF is sodium fluoride.

(b) The name for Rb_2O is rubidium oxide.

(c) The name for BCl_3 is boron trichloride.

(d) The name for H_2Se is dihydrogen selenide.

(e) The name for P_4O_6 is tetraphosphorous hexaoxide.

(f) The name for ICl_3 is iodine trichloride.

Explanation :

The nomenclature of covalent compound is given by:

1. The less electronegative element is written first.

2. The more electronegative element is written then, and a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

3. If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on..

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

3. In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.

(a) NaF is an ionic compound because sodium element is a metal and fluorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

So, the name for NaF is sodium fluoride.

(b) Rb_2O is an ionic compound because rubidium element is a metal and oxygen element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

So, the name for Rb_2O is rubidium oxide.

(c) BCl_3 is a covalent compound because boron and chlorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between the non-metal is always covalent in nature.

So, the name for BCl_3 is boron trichloride.

(d) H_2Se is a covalent compound because hydrogen and selenium element is a non-metal. The bond formed between the non-metal is always covalent in nature.

So, the name for H_2Se is dihydrogen selenide.

(e) P_4O_6 is a covalent compound because phosphorous and oxygen element is a non-metal. The bond formed between the non-metal is always covalent in nature.

So, the name for P_4O_6 is tetraphosphorous hexaoxide.

(f) ICl_3 is a covalent compound because iodine and chlorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between the non-metal is always covalent in nature.

So, the name for ICl_3 is iodine trichloride.

Answer:

When an atom gains or loses energy, the  energy of an electron can change.

An electron in an atom can move from one  energy level to another when the atom gains  or loses energy.

Explanation:

The possible energies that electrons in an atom

can have are called energy levels.

• An electron cannot exist between energy levels.
