Prefixes with proper names

Should you use insectlike or insect-like Do not precede like with a hyphen unless the letter 1 would be tripled. Examples bill-like, lifelike, businesslike, shell-like. Do precede like with a hyphen if the word is three syllables, e.g., intestine-like. Do precede like with a hyphen if the word is a proper name, e.g., Clinton-like. An exception to this mle—use Christlike. Do precede like with a hyphen if the word is a compound word. On the other hand, when like is a prefix, then follow with a hyphen when used as a prefix meaning similar to, e.g., like-minded. No hyphens are used in words that have meanings of their own, e.g., likelihood, likewise, likeness. 

Nearly all binary molecular compormds involve two nonmetals bonded together. Although many nonmetals can exhibit different oxidation numbers, their oxidation numbers are not properly indicated by Roman numerals or suffixes. Instead, elemental proportions in binary covalent compounds are indicated by using a prefix system for both elements. The Greek and Latin prefixes for one through ten are mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, and deca. The prefix mono- is omitted for both elements except in the common name for CO, carbon monoxide. We use the minimum number of prefixes needed to name a compound unambiguously. The final a in a prefix is omitted when the nonmetal stem begins with the letter o we write heptoxide, not heptaoxide. ...

To properly name a molecule with one Z ox E double bond you must include the appropriate prefix before the name (omitting the prefix implies a mixture of Z and E)... 

Order of prefixes. When the substituents have been identified, the main chain has been numbered, and the proper multipliers such as di- and tri- have been assigned, the name is written with the substituents listed in alphabetical,... 

Dockal etal. [57] used slow-scan CV to determine the 21 values for 17 Cu(II/I) complexes in 80% methanol —20% water (w/w) - including nine complexes with macrocyclic terdentate, quadridentate, quinquedentate, and sexaden-tate thioethers and eight complexes with acyclic quadridentate ligands containing thioether sulfur and/or amine nitrogen donor atoms. (In naming the denticity of multidentate ligands, Dwyer, Lions, and coworkers have pointed out that dentate is a Latin root and proper nomenclature requires that Latin prefixes be used. 

The heteroatom is given a name and is used as a prefix N, aza- O, oxa- S, thia- P, phospha- As, arsa- Si, sila- Se, selena-, B, bora, and so on. The a ending is dropped if the next syllable starts with a vowel. Thus aza-irine is properly written azirine. ... 

In naming hydrates, we first name the compound exclusive of the water and then add the term hydrate, with the proper prefix representing the number of water molecules in the formula. For example, BaCl2 2 H2O is called barium chloride dihydrate. Hydrates are true compounds and follow the law of definite composition. The molar mass of BaCl2 "2 H2O is 244.2 g/mol it contains 56.22% barium, 29.03% chlorine, and 14.76% water. 

If a complex substituent is present on the longest continuous chain, count the number of carbon atoms in the longest continuous part of that side chain and use the proper prefix. The name of a complex substituent is considered to begin with the first letter of its complete name (take the longest chain of the substituent from the point of attachment to the longest unbranched chain and ignore di, tri, etc.).
