In naming the first element in a formula, the prefix mono- is not used?
Prefixes designating quantity are only ever used for other elements in the compound, never the first one. Example: Carbon Monoxide. The chemical formula is CO, and there is one Carbon atom, just as there is one Oxygen atom, but the Mono- prefix is only affixed to the Oxygen.
