Most are formed systematically by combining the a term of the element (with elision of the terminal letter a before the ending ane, patterned after methane, for example, borane for BH3, silane for SiH4, etc.). There are important exceptions: methane, which is the retained name for CH4, oxidane for H2O, sulfane for H2S, selane for H2Se, tellane for H2Te, polonane for H2Po, and bismuthane for BiH3 |
