Sure, let's complete the table with the chemical formulas for each compound.
1. Dinitrogen monoxide (N2O):
- "Di-" indicates two nitrogen atoms.
- "Monoxide" indicates one oxygen atom.
Therefore, the chemical formula is N2O.
2. Dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4):
- "Di-" indicates two nitrogen atoms.
- "Tetroxide" indicates four oxygen atoms.
Therefore, the chemical formula is N2O4.
3. Nitrogen monoxide (NO):
- No prefix for nitrogen indicates one nitrogen atom.
- "Monoxide" indicates one oxygen atom.
Therefore, the chemical formula is NO.
4. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2):
- No prefix for nitrogen indicates one nitrogen atom.
- "Dioxide" indicates two oxygen atoms.
Therefore, the chemical formula is NO2.
Now we can fill in the table:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{ some binary molecular compounds } \\
\hline name & chemical formula \\
\hline dinitrogen monoxide & N2O \\
\hline dinitrogen tetroxide & N2O4 \\
\hline nitrogen monoxide & NO \\
\hline nitrogen dioxide & NO2 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\][/tex]
This completes the table with the appropriate chemical formulas for each given compound name.
