Inorganic Reactions: Oxides Exercises

As we saw in my last post, oxides are very easy to name, I need to remark that these aren’t the only compounds where oxygen is, SIMILAR to oxides there are the Anhydride Compounds and they follow the SAME RULES as oxides but are made with NON-METALS.

HALOGENS			ANFIGENS
Fluorine Chlorine Bromine Iodine	F Cl Br I	-1 -1 +1 +3 +5 +7 -1 +1 +3 +5 +7 -1 +1 +3 +5 +7	Oxygen Sulphur Selenium Tellurium	O S Se Te	-2 -2 +2 +4+6 -2 +2 +4+6 -2 +2 +4 +6
NITROGEN GROUP			CARBON GROUP
Nitrogen Phosphorus Arsenic Antimony Boron	N P As Sb B	-3  +3  +5 -3  +3  +5 -3  +3  +5 -3  +3  +5 -3  +3	Carbon Silicon	C Si	+4  -4 +4  -4

Coming back to the exercises:

Name these oxides with all 3 nomenclatures:
