yeah..
mono-1
di-2
tri-3
tetra-4
penta-5
hexa-6
hepta-7
octa-8
nona-9
deca-10
dodeca-20
The real answer is NO. The prefixes are only used in Type III compounds which are Covalent Bonds. Ionic Bonds only need the ending -ide.
no only molecular compounds
(non-metal +non-metal)
Prefixes are used to tell how many of each kind of atom are in covalent compounds. - APEX
Different compounds can be formed of the same elements, so the prefixes are needed to distinguish different binary compounds.
The order of the first five prefixes used in chemical names are: mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, and penta-.
Ionic compounds do not have prefixes but covalent compounds have prefixes. “Aluminum chloride” is a ionic compound and "boron tri-chloride” is a covalent compound.
For one thing, P is phosphorus, not potassium. PCl would be phosphorus monochloride. Potassium chloride, KCl, is an ionic compound where as numeric prefixes (e.g. mono-, di-, tri-) are normally used for molecular compounds.

No, "multi," "mono," and "tri" are not number prefixes. "Multi-" means many or multiple, "mono-" means one, and "tri-" means three. The number prefixes in English include "uni-" (one), "bi-" (two), "quad-" (four), "pent-" (five), and so on.

The molecule above should be NH4SO4.It is ammonium sulphate
Some prefixes that refer to amount or number include: mono-, bi-/di-, tri-, quadri-/tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-.
Some common prefixes used in formulas are: mono- (1) di- (2) tri- (3) tetra- (4) penta- (5) These prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of a particular element in a molecule or compound.
No. Mono-glyceride, di-glyceride and tri-glyceride are pristine examples of compounds - none of which are nucleic acids.
Molecular. If you compare the electronegativities of phosphorus and chlorine, the difference between them falls in a spectrum of molecular compounds. The quick and easy answers : 1) non metals only = molecular. 2) the prefixes in the name (tri =3, penta=5) are used for the naming of molecular compounds (and hydrates)
The prefixes in chemistry are used to indicate the quantity of atoms in a chemical compound. Common prefixes include mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, octa-, nona-, and deca-. These prefixes are placed before the element name to specify the number of atoms present.
