prime attributes are the attributes of a candidate key which will give uniqueness.

a candidate key is (the subset of superkey) which gives uniqueness.

Super key is the maximum set of attributes that can provide uniqueness

ABCDE is a super key

AB CD DE are the candidate keys s.t. AB is the primary key. CD and DE are the secondary/alternate keys.
