Question

How would you write the molecular formula for dinitrogen trioxide and nitrogen monoxide?

Answer 1

(1) `N_2O_3`

(2) `NO`

Explanation:

Both are covalent compounds, meaning you can use the prefixes to name them.

Di means 2, tri means 3.

So, dinitrogen trioxide is `N_2O_3`.

Mono means one.

So, nitrogen monoxide is `NO`.
