    Here's what I get

    Explanation:

    At the introductory level of chemistry, I can think of only two situations when you use Greek prefixes.

    They indicate the number of atoms or groups in a molecule when you are naming a compound.

    1. Binary covalent compounds

    For example, P₂S₅ is diphosphorus pentasulfide.

    2. Hydrates

    For example, Na₂SO₄·10H₂O is sodium sulfate decahydrate.
