Ahhh, the dihydrogen monoxide trick from chemistry class. Don't feel stupid. Most people in my honors geometry class didn't get this one until it was explained to them. "Di" is the prefix meaning two. "Mon" or "mono" is the prefix meaning one. Therefore, Dihydrogen monoxide is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It is also known as H2O, or water. Again, don't feel stupid. This is a chemistry teacher's favorite trick. ;)
