Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, both the first and second element in the formula of covalent compound always receive a prefix to represent the number of each element present in the formula in order to show the percentage or proportion of each element in the formula of covalent compound. Prefix refers to addition of word, letter, or number at the beginning of something so here number placed in front of element indicates the prefix.
