This is a symmetric rank \(2\) tensor, \(Q_{ab} = Q_{ba}\).
Moreover, it is traceless, \(\sum_a Q_{aa} = 0\). It therefore has \(5\) independent components.

{\bf A consistent nomenclature for the multipole expansion?}\\\\
You all know the terms {\bf monopole}, {\bf dipole} and {\bf quadrupole},
and perhaps also the less frequently used {\bf octupole}, {\bf hexadecapole} [16],
{\bf triacontadipole} (or {\bf dotriacontapole}) [32] and {\bf tetrahexacontapole}
(or {\bf hexacontatetrapole}) [64].
Physicists are clearly insufficiently educated in the humanities:
these terms sound very fancy and their choice seems to make sense, but it doesn't.
{\bf Mono-} is derived from the Greek
{\it monos} ('alone'); {\bf di-} is derived from the Greek {\it dis} ('twice');
{\bf quadru-} is a fake Latin prefix ({\it quadri-} would be genuine)

Well I'm afraid physicists are clearly insufficiently educated in the humanities,
and have badly screwed up with this nomeclature. Although these terms sound very
fancy and their choice seems to make sense, it doesn't.

Irrespective of whether you have a predilection for the Greek or Latin version,
you can go wild and ask how this could generalize. The way to do this is not
uniquely defined; here is a set of possibilities for
