Simple covalent compounds are generally named by using prefixes metal name + nonmetal name + suffix ?ide to indicate how many atoms of each element are shown in the formula. Also, the ending of the last (most negative) element is changed to -ide. The prefixes used are mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, and so forth.
