2.4 Naming Covalent Compounds<br />

L E A R N I N G O B JE C T I V E<br />

1. To name covalent compounds that contain up to three elements.<br />

As with ionic compounds, the system that chemists have devised for naming covalent compounds enables us to write<br />

the molecular formula from the name <strong>and</strong> vice versa. In this <strong>and</strong> the following section, we describe the rules for<br />

naming simple covalent compounds. We begin with inorganic compounds <strong>and</strong> then turn to simple organic<br />

compounds that contain only carbon <strong>and</strong> hydrogen.<br />
