## Step 1The problem involves predicting the chemical formulas from the given names. The prefixes in the names indicate the number of atoms of each element in the compound.## Step 2For chlorine dioxide, the prefix "di-" indicates two atoms of chlorine, and "oxide" indicates one atom of oxygen. Therefore, the formula is .## Step 3For dichlorine monoxide, "di-" indicates two atoms of chlorine, and "monoxide" indicates one atom of oxygen. Therefore, the formula is .## Step 4For diphosphorus tetroxide, "di-" indicates two atoms of phosphorus, and "tetra-" indicates four atoms of oxygen. Therefore, the formula is .## Step 5For silicon dioxide, there is no prefix, which means there is one atom of silicon and two atoms of oxygen. Therefore, the formula is .## Step 6For tetraphosphorus heptoxide, "tetra-" indicates four atoms of phosphorus, and "hept-" indicates seven atoms of oxygen. Therefore, the formula is .## Step 7For carbon tetrachloride, "tetra-" indicates four atoms of chlorine. Therefore, the formula is .
