Binary molecular compounds are composed of two nonmetal elements. The naming convention involves using prefixes to indicate the number of each element present in the compound. The first element's name is written first, followed by the second element with an "-ide" ending. For example, carbon monoxide is composed of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, while dinitrogen tetroxide is composed of two nitrogen atoms and four oxygen atoms.
