Ten-carbon terpenes, which contain two C5 units, are called monoterpenes; 15-carbon terpenes (three C5 units) are sesquiterpenes; and 20-carbon terpenes (four C5 units) are diterpenes. Larger terpenes include triterpenes (30 carbons), tetraterpenes (40 carbons), and polyterpenoids ([C5]n carbons, where n > 8).
