can someone help me with naming the following compounds:
BBr3
CaSO4
C2Br6
Cr(CO3)3
Ag3P
please explain how to do it if u can thanks

boron tribromide
calcium sulfate
ethyl bromide
chromium(VI) carbonate
gold phosphate
You name the first part of the formula then name the second.

I do not know your level of chemical education. Some of this is pretty advanced.
Boron tribromide That's the way one nameds binary compounds.
Calcium sulfate A metal salt
Hexabromoethane For this, you would have to know organic chemistry. You would have to know that two carbon atoms in a line is ethane, and that if there are six bromine atoms replacing all six hydrogen atoms of ethane, then the compound is hexabromoethane
Chromic carbonate. Another name is chromium(III) carbonate
Silver phosphide. Again, the naming of binary compounds of the elements.

Step one read your chemistry book. Buit I will help with the first two.
BBr3 boron tribromide (Stay away from this one.)
CaSO4 calcium sulphate ( the main ingredient in Gypsum Board or plaster of paris) Fun to play with.
I recommend that you study the table of elements.
