Answer:

molecular compounds prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in the compound. ” mono-” indicates one, “di-” indicates two, “tri-” is three, “tetra-” is four, “penta-” is five, and “hexa-” is six, “hepta-” is seven, “octo-” is eight, “nona-” is nine, and “deca” is ten.

Explanation:

chemical formula is a shorthand that represents the proportion or number of chemical elements in a compound or molecule. For the molecule butane , we could represent this as C4H10 , or we could give a bit more information on the formula: H3C−CH2−CH2−CH3 , which shows the connectivity of the molecule.
