No, formulas of ionically bonded compounds can be figured out without prefixes and understanding of how many electrons are gained/lost.
In covalent bonds, prefixes are needed and without them the formulas and quantities couldn't be determined.
yes .

No.
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.
Almost always. Especially when there are more than one atom of the first element in the compound.
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.
Covalent. You have a compound of two non metals, which means they bond covalently. Ionic bonds occur between a metal and a non metal. Another clue is that only covalently bonded compounds use prefixes in the names; ionic compounds do not.
You must use roman numerals to indicate which oxidation state the element is in when that element is in a compound.

Covalent compounds, particularly binary compounds consisting of two nonmetals, use prefixes in their names to indicate the number of atoms of each element present in the molecule. This helps distinguish between similar compounds with different ratios of atoms.

You use it on every single element
An ionic compound always exists in solid state.

One use of an ionic compound is preservation in food and taste enhancement. The compound is known as table salt (NaCl). Several ionic compounds are use as medicines, preservatives, pigments. antiseptic material and oxidizing and reducing agents.
salt and sunscreen
Prefixes in a name generally indicate the number of atoms of a certain element in a compound. For example, carbon dioxide has two atoms of oxygen and one atom of carbon.
covelant bonads use prefixes & ionicbonds do not
