Different compounds can be formed of the same elements, so the prefixes are needed to distinguish different binary compounds.
Yes. Binary covalent compounds named with Greek prefixes.
mono, di, tri, tetra, pent, hex, hept, oct, nona, dec.
-ite and -ide are the suffixes that appear.
because they are the 1st discoverers.

tri
An ionic compound contains an element from the right side of the periodic table and an element from the left side of the periodic table == a metal and a nonmetal. EX: sodium chloride. GENERALLY, there is an -ide following the nonmetal element. For a covalent compound, we have to look at prefixes. ... For example, carbon dioxide. See? We have di- , tri- , etc. as prefixes. So, look at where these funny Greek sounding bits go. If they count at the beginning, it's likely a covalent compound. If you see an -ide + the name of a metal, then we've got ourselves an ionic compound. :)
The number of atoms of that element. The prefixes are greek in origin so it helps if you studied classical greek - like i did- but just in case you didn't mono- one di - two tri- three tetra - four penta - five hexa - six hepta - seven octa - eight nona- nine deca - ten eicosa- 20

Most prefixes come from Latin or Greek origins. These prefixes are added to the beginning of words to modify or qualify their meaning.
Most of them are of Greek origin.
Quadri (Latin) and Tetra (Greek) are both prefixes used for the number 4
