The prefix tells you how many carbons are in the principal chain of the molecule. the prefixes for 1-10, in order, are:meth, eth, prop, but (pronounced like butte), penta, hexa. hepta, octa, nona, deca.

Hexane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)4CH3 or C6H14. The "hex" prefix refers to its six carbons, while the "ane" ending indicates that its carbons are connected by single bonds. "Hexane" or "hexanes" is a commercial and industrial product consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons with six carbon atoms and includes n-hexane and its isomers 2-methylpentane and 3-methylpentane as well as small amounts of other hydrocarbons (Brugnone et al.1991). n-Hexane can react vigorously with oxidizing materials such as liquid chlorine, concentrated oxygen, and sodium hypochlorite.
There are four atoms of fluorine in a molecule of carbon tetrafluoride (CF4).
The prefix 'dec' indicates the number 10. As an example decane is the alkane with a 10 carbon atom chain.
The mid-altitude clouds are given the prefix, "Alto." Alto means high. These clouds are between 6000 and 20,000 feet. There is no prefix meaning middle for clouds.
6 is most likely, hence the name hexafluorine
The molecule is a branched hydrocarbon.
the molecule branched is a hydrocarbon
But-
A hydrocarbon containing 6 carbon atoms is called a hexane. Hexane is a colorless liquid that is commonly used as a solvent in chemical reactions and processes. It belongs to the alkane family of hydrocarbons.
The prefix of 'hydrocarbon' is 'hydro' It means water, or the scientific term, h2o
eth-
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)
The prefix meaning of 4 in science is "tetra-." It represents the quantity of four units or groups. For example, a molecule with four carbon atoms may be referred to as a "tetraatomic" molecule.

The prefix "but-" indicates a molecule with four carbon atoms.
The prefix "but-" means that there are 4 carbons in the parent stem of the molecule. Butane is a hydrocarbon, thus it contains only carbon and hydrogen. Each carbon must have 4 bonds, thus by drawing the structure of the molecule, the chemical formula can be deduced as C4H10.
Yes it is an aliphatic hydrocarbon with a C triple bond C
