Chemistry names and formulas of molecular compounds question: what am I doing wrong?

N2O is actually Nitrous oxide. There is no such thing as P2Br5. Phosphorus pentabromide is just PBr5. Silicon dioxide is SiO2, but the crystal is a matrix of Silicon and Oxygen atoms whose formula is actually SiO2.n. In terms of nomenclature, the answers are correct however.
