When naming molecular compounds, how many atoms does each of the following prefixes indicate:
hexa-, hepta-, octa-, nona-, deca-?

• A. hexa = 6 atomshepta = 7 atomsocta = 8 atomsnona = 9 atomsdeca = 10 atoms
• B. hexa = 16 atomshepta = 17 atomsocta = 18 atomsnona = 19 atomsdeca = 20 atoms
• C. hexa = 5 atomshepta = 6 atomsocta = 8 atomsnona = 9 atomsdeca = 10 atoms
• D. hexa = 6 atomshepta = 7 atomsocta = 18 atomsnona = 19 atomsdeca = 20 atoms

Answer: (A)
