Correct Answer

(1) phosphorus trifluoride
(2) carbon monoxide
(3) diselenium dibromide
(4) sulfur tetrafluoride
(5) diphosphorus pentasulfide

Explanation

  1. A molecule with a single phosphorus atom and three fluorine atoms is called phosphorus trifluoride.
  2. A compound with one carbon atom and one oxygen atom is properly called carbon monoxide, not carbon monooxide.
  3. There are two atoms of each element, selenium and bromine. According to the rules, the proper name here is diselenium dibromide.
  4. sulfur tetrafluoride
  5. diphosphorus pentasulfide
