Nomenclature Worksheet Binary Covalent Compounds. The element with the lower group number is written first in the name; the element with the higher group. The last step in chemical nomenclature is covalent compounds.
Purpose: This is the first step for Students often have a lot of difficulty remembering the rules for binary and ternary acids. Covalent compounds are formed when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom.
Fortunately, the rules for these are pretty.
Strategy to approach naming binary covalent compounds introduced, with an example.
