3. Lets look at the way that chemists name this compound. The carbon part means there is a single carbon in it. Next is the di- part. This prefix di- comes from greek and means 2. Chemists tend to use greek prefixes and latin ones too depending on the situation. The latin prefx for 2 is bi- (as in bicycle etc...). Now that we know what the prefix means we know it means theres 2 oxygens in this compound. So altogether that's a carbon and 2 oxygens = 3
