Covalent compound naming (check)
« on: September 24, 2009, 12:37:58 AM »
Here's some compounds just checking if I named them correctly:

PCl5 - Phorphorus Pentachloride
I2F6 - Dioide Hexaflouride
XeO2 - Xenon Dioxide
H2O - Dihydrogen Oxide

Are these correct?

Isn't it Diioide Hexaflouride though, and Dihydrogen monoxide?  :-\
