Step 1
1 of 4If an ionic compound consists of two elements, we follow several rules for naming it:
-
The name of the cation remains the same, and the suffix -ide or -ate is added to the name of the anion if it is a polyatomic molecule.
-
The suffix onium is added to the polyatomic cation
-
The number of hydrogen in an ion is denoted by the prefix mono-, di-, tri- depending on whether it is one, two or three.
