"Chemical compounds" are given specific names through the <em>chemical nomenclatures</em> with reference to their <em>structures</em> and<em> chemical composition</em>. This kind of naming ensures that <u>the compound will be distinguished from the rest without confusion.</u>
For example, the chemical name of <em>Nitrogen gas</em> is "dinitrogen." Adding the word "di" means that that the gas consists of<em> 2 atoms of nitrogen</em> because it is "diatomic" in nature. This gas can be mostly found in the atmosphere.
