Explanation:

Step1: Name $P_4O_{10}$

Use prefixes for non - metal compounds. There are 4 phosphorus atoms, so the prefix is "tetra -", and 10 oxygen atoms, so the prefix is "deca -". The name is tetraphosphorus decoxide.

Step2: Name $CO$

There is 1 carbon atom (no prefix for 1 in the first element usually) and 1 oxygen atom. The prefix for 1 in the second element is "mono -". The name is carbon monoxide.

Step3: Name $AsF_3$

There is 1 arsenic atom (no prefix for 1 in the first element) and 3 fluorine atoms. The prefix for 3 is "tri -". The name is arsenic trifluoride.
