There are two types of compounds; ionic, and covalent.
Ionic compounds will have a metal in them, like Tin and Barium.
Covalent compounds only involve nonmetals like Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Bromine.
Ionic compounds are easy; use the metal's name first and then the root of the nonmetal + ide.
For instance, SnF2 would be Tin Fluoride.
KO is Potassium Oxide, LiBr would be Lithium Bromide, FeF would be Iron Fluoride. Easy, isn't it?
The parenthesis express certain ionic compounds; I know for a fact (NH4) happens to be ammonium. SO4, I think, is Sulfate, so (NH4)2 SO4 would be Ammonium Sulfate. Again, isn't it simple?
Covalent, that's different. You must use roots to express the quantity of atoms, and again, use roots in the second atom.
Mono = 1
Di = 2
Tri = 3
Tetra = 4
Penta = 5
Hexa = 6
Hepta = 7
Octa = 8
Nona = 9
You MUST include the prefix for the second atom, the first needs a prefix unless there is only 1 of it.
So HF would be Hydrogen Monofluoride.
IF would be Iodine Monofluoride.
I2O5 would be Diodine Pentoxide (Drop the last letter of the prefix if the element starts with a vowel, like Iodine and Oxygen.)
CBr4 would be Carbon Tetrabromide. C5N3 would be Pentacarbon Trinitrogen.
It's just a matter of recognizing the compound is Ionic or Covalent.

Your question is equivalent to asking where can you find a chart that lists all of the numbers. Perhaps you have the mental capacity to understand that there is an infinite number of numbers and there is an infinite number of carbon chains. There is no "list". Wow. That's pathetic. You answer the question by learning how to name them. You have (apparently) written the backbone of two hydrocarbons. The rule for displaying those types of structures is that each carbon has 4 bonds (possibly including >c= , or -c≡) and if no other atom is indicated, there is a H atom (not usually drawn). They are called isomers. Specifically they are structural isomers. Neither one is drawn correctly, as the longest chain should be in a line So the first one would be typed C-C(C)-C-C-C-C where the parenthesis indicates the (C) atom is attached to the 2nd carbon atom -- the backbone is 6 carbon atoms long with another C atom pendant from the 2nd. This is an isomer of heptane, but is named as a hexane. Your second one (as it appears) is simply C8 octane. There may be some sources that actually list the various c4, c5,c6, c7, and c8 isomers. It is a massive waste of time to look for it. Learn how to name them, dufus. --- Rule 1. Find the longest chain of C atoms. The compound is named after that chain. The sequence is Methane Ethane Propane Butane Pentane Hexane Heptane Octane Nonane Decane (with additional carbon chain lengths named using the appropriate Greek prefix (undec- is 11 ) and the ending -ane, -ene, or -yne depending on if it is saturated or unsaturated.) Rule 2. The chain is arranged so that each carbon can be numbered starting from the end which has substituents closest. For instance C-C(C)-C-C and not C-C-C(C)-C (although they are the same structure) The above butane is 2-methylbutane other examples: C-C(C)(C)-C-C is 2,2-dimethylbutane, C-C(C-C)-C-C is 2-ethylbutane. There are lots of other rules, but this can get you started.

You can use the periodic table to determine the molar mass. Find the element on the table. Add the molar mass of the elements in the compound to determine the compound's molar mass. 1. Sodium carbonate 2. NaOH 3. Magnesium bromide 4. Ferrous chloride 5. Iron (III) trichloride 6. O2 7. Diboron monosilicide 8. P4S5 9. Nitrogen tetrafluoride 10. Si2Br6
