Answer:

Explanation:Compounds between Nonmetals and Nonmetals

Compounds that consist of a nonmetal bonded to a nonmetal are commonly known as Molecular Compounds, where the element with the positive oxidation state is written first. In many cases, nonmetals form more than one binary compound, so prefixes are used to distinguish them.

# of Atoms 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Prefixes Mono- Di- Tri- Tetra- Penta- Hexa- Hepta- Octa- Nona- Deca-

the compounds are covalent, not ionic
