2. Names of Binary Ionic Compounds
Binary ionic compounds are named by stating the cation (element name) first, then the anion (element root + "-ide"). For fixed-charge metals, no Roman numerals are needed.
Step1: Apply criss-cross method
Swap ion charges as subscripts, simplify if possible.
Step2: Name the compound
Cation name first, anion root + "-ide".
