The same two elements often form more than one binary compound. Their names are distinguished by the prefixes mentioned in the preceding rules. Silicon and chlorine form silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4, and disilicon hexachloride, Si2Clg. The prefix tetra-identifies four chlorine atoms in a molecule of SiC. In Si2Cl6, di- indicates two silicon atoms, and hexa- shows six chlorine atoms in the molecule. Technically, SiC should be monosilicon tetrachloride, but the prefix mono- for one is usually omitted in the first word. If an elemental name has no prefix in a binary molecular compound, you may assume that there is only one atom of that element in the molecule.
