Question

how do the names of covalent compounds differ from the names of ionic compounds???

Answer 1

Well, the chemical names would clearly identify the atoms in the chemical compound. You have to remember the trend of the electronegativity of the elements, in order to make a judgement wether a compound is covalent or ionic. In fact, once you are familiar to the trend of the electronegativity of the elements, its like a piece of cake to tell wether a compound is covalent or ionic, on in between.
