  • Triboron Monochloride (B3Cl): Chemical Name & Naming Conventions
    The compound name for B3Cl is triboron monochloride. Here's how we arrive at that name:

    * Prefixes: We use prefixes to indicate the number of each element present. In this case, "tri-" indicates three boron atoms and "mono-" indicates one chlorine atom.

    * Elements: We list the elements in order of increasing electronegativity, which is boron followed by chlorine.

    Therefore, the correct name is triboron monochloride.
