There is one positive polyatomic ion. It is NH4+ and is called the ammonium ion. Prefixes Used to Indicate Number in a Name Involving Two Non-Metals mono 1 hexa 6 di 2 hepta 7 tri 3 octa 8 tetra 4 nona 9 penta 5 deca 10 These prefixes are used in naming binary compounds involving two nonmetals. Example include P2O5, Cl2O, NO, N2O, NO2, N2O5, PCl3, PCl5, SO2, SO3, SiO2. Sometimes metal ions are involved in a Greek prefix name, but these are less common. Examples include UF6, SbCl3, SbCl5, OsO4, BiCl3. There is a preferred order of the nonmetals when writing them in a formula. It is: Rn, Xe, Kr, B, Si, C, Sb, As, P, N, H, Te, Se, S, I, Br, Cl, O, F. CO is carbon monoxide, NOT carbon monooxide. As4O6 is tetrarsenic hexoxide, NOT tetraarsenic hexaoxide. Acid Names add the word acid to each name when saying or writing.
