Question

What are the prefixes for naming molecular compounds?

Answer 1

See explanation:

Explanation:

Here's a list of the prefixes:

The prefixes you would use depend on the subscripts in the compound. Depending on your chemistry class, you probably only have to remember up to hexa-. An important note is that if the first element only has 1 molecule (or no subscript) you don't put the prefix mono- but do for the second element:

For example, `"CO"` is written as Carbon `color(red)"mono"`xide NOT `color(red)"mono"`carbon `color(red)"mono"`xide
