a) nitrogen dioxide NO2
b) carbon tetrachloride CCl4
c) sulfur dioxide SO2
d) iodine pentafluoride IF5

4) Spot the error! Circle the error in the following. Then, write the correct chemical formula beside it.

Name Wrong Right

a) antimony tribromide SBBR3 SbBr3
b) hexaboron silicide B6S B6Si
c) chlorine dioxide ClO ClO2
d) hydrogen iodide IH HI
e) iodine pentafluoride I5F IF5
f) dinitrogen trioxide O3N2 O2N3
g) phosphorus triiodide P3I3 PI3
h) P4S5 phosphorus hexasulfide Tetraphosphorus hexasulfide
i) O2 *tricky dioxide oxygen
j) SeF6 selenium hexafluorine Selenium heaxaflouride
k) Si2Br6 disilicon pentabromide Disilicon hexabromide
l) SCl4 tetrasulfur chloride Sulfur tetrachloride
m) CH4 monocarbon tetrahydrogen Carbon tetrahydride
n) B2Si dibarium silicon Diboron silicide

5) Summarize the difference between interparticle forces and intraparticle forces.

Interparticle Forces Intraparticle Forces

Forces outside the molecule Forces within the molecule

6) How to interparticle forces impact boiling point and melting point?

Stronger interparticle forces makes it harder for substance to melt or boil (increasing melting/boiling
point).
