Formula:
The name of a binary covalent compound is derived using prefixes (e.g., 'di-', 'tri-', 'tetra-') to indicate the number of atoms of each element. The first element's prefix is often omitted if there's only one atom. The second element always uses a prefix and ends with the suffix '-ide'.
Example: N2O4 → Dinitrogen Tetroxide
