SUMMARY

The molecules C3H8, SO3, F2, and KBr are identified as propane, sulfur trioxide, diatomic fluorine, and potassium bromide, respectively. Understanding these names requires a foundational knowledge of chemistry, particularly IUPAC nomenclature. The discussion emphasizes that basic chemistry concepts are essential for accurately naming chemical compounds. Resources such as general chemistry textbooks or online platforms like Wikipedia can provide further information on this topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of IUPAC nomenclature
  • Familiarity with chemical formulas and molecular structures
  • Knowledge of common chemical compounds
  • Foundational chemistry concepts from a General Chemistry course
NEXT STEPS
  • Study IUPAC nomenclature rules for naming chemical compounds
  • Learn about the properties and uses of propane (C3H8)
  • Research the characteristics of sulfur trioxide (SO3) and its applications
  • Explore the significance of diatomic molecules, specifically F2
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding chemical nomenclature and the properties of common compounds.

how can i know what the names of the molecules in this list:C3H8. SO3, F2, KBr


(the numbers need to be little)

thanks.

You just need to learn Chemistry. This type of stuff is covered in any basic General Chemistry course. You can try looking up IUPAC nomenclature but if you have no foundation in Chemistry it may be a lot to really absorb.

C3H8 - Propane
SO3 is a sulfite anion and should have a -2 charge.
F2 is just diatomic flourine
KBr is Potassium Bromide

There are lots of rules for naming compounds and going into them on a forum is not something I'm really willing to spend my time doing. I'm sure you can google some stuff but its probably best to just get a book or take a class.
 
yes that truth.

but still thanks about ur help.

Why not just sulfur trioxide?

well maybe there is website that give the name of compounds ?
