Ions combine in only one ratio, so prefixes are not needed.
Chemistry
Aluminum oxide is an ionic compound. Prefixes are not used in naming ionic compounds, but are used in naming binary molecular compounds.
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.
two ions can combine in only one combination
Ate, and Ite. Theres also ide but just depends =]
When naming ionic compounds, the non metals' ending is changed to "-ide". "Ionic bonds" do not have particular names.

yes
I'm not sure if it has a name, but most call it 'naming ionic compounds with multiple ion charges'. I think that what you're looking for is the "Stock System."
Different compounds can be formed of the same elements, so the prefixes are needed to distinguish different binary compounds.
Just because
because they are the 1st discoverers.
