But-
It's not a prefix but a subscripted postfix '10'Example: decane C10H22 with 10 atoms of the same element Carbon (and 22 H's)
There are 15 atoms in three carbon tetrachloride molecules. Each carbon tetrachloride molecule has one carbon atom and four chlorine atoms. Multiplying 5 atoms per molecule by 3 molecules gives a total of 15 atoms.
CO2two Oxygen atom and one of CarbonC= CarbonO= OxygenAdditional answerDi- means two. Like tri- means three. Mono- means one.Sometimes di- is used as the prefix meaning two, but sometimes the prefix is bi- as in bicycle.
one carbon and two oxygen's, di is the prefix for two
In carbon tetrachloride molecule,four atoms of chlorine are present.
The prefix "but-" indicates a molecule with four carbon atoms.
The prefix "but-" indicates a molecule with 4 carbon atoms. Examples include butane (C4H10) and butene (C4H8).

A molecule of carbon tetrafluoride contains four fluorine atoms. The prefix tetra- means four.
There are four atoms of fluorine in a molecule of carbon tetrafluoride (CF4).
The formula tells how many atoms of which elements are found in a molecule of propane. It indicates that there are 3 atoms of carbon and 8 atoms of hydrogen in a molecule of propane.
