Covalent Compounds
Covalent bonds are formed by 2 or more atoms sharing electrons. Typically this is between 2 non-metals since both atoms want to gain electrons to acquire a full outer shell.
To name covalent compounds, use the following prefixes to represent the subscripts and change the suffix of the more electronegative (always on the right) element to -ide.
