Numeral or number prefixes are prefixes derived from numerals or occasionally other numbers.In English and many other languages, they are used to coin numerous series of words.
The "a" of the penta- prefix is not dropped before a vowel. As the IUPAC Red Book 2005 page 69 states, "The final vowels of multiplicative prefixes should not be elided (although 'monoxide', rather than 'monooxide', is an allowed exception because of general usage)." There are a number of exceptions and special cases that violate the above rules.
Thus, NCl 3 is termed nitrogen trichloride, BF 3 is termed boron trifluoride, and P 2 O 5 is termed diphosphorus pentoxide (although the a of the prefix penta-should actually not be omitted before a vowel: the IUPAC Red Book 2005 page 69 states, "The final vowels of multiplicative prefixes should not be elided (although "monoxide", rather than ...
PETA is part of a family of acrylates used in epoxy resin chemistry and ultraviolet cure of coatings. Similar monomers used are 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate and trimethylol propane triacrylate.
In this case the number n (which is between 1 and 6) is indicated by a multiplier prefix (mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, or hexa-). The unqualified term "hydroxynaphthoquinone" usually means a derivative of 1,4-naphthoquinone .
A unit prefix is a specifier or mnemonic that is added to the beginning of a unit of measurement to indicate multiples or fractions of the units. Units of various sizes are commonly formed by the use of such prefixes.
A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit. All metric prefixes used today are decadic.Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to any unit symbol.
