arsenic trihydride.
someone please help me with this and possibly explain it?

Answer 1

mono = 1
di (or bis) = 2
tri = 3
tetra = 4
penta = 5

when you have two non metals, you simply name the atom and the second atom wite either the number of atoms of that atoms. For instance, the first one is 1 carbon, 2 sulphur, so it is \(\sf \color{red}{carbon~disulfide}\)

Answer 2

for triboron monoxide would it be B3O?

Yes. Tri means 3 borons, and mono = 1 oxygen.

Answer 4

okay
great thanks!
