In this skill we will learn to name binary ionic compounds.
Ionic compounds are compounds that are made up of a combination of positively charged ions and negatively charged ions.
Binary ionic compounds consist of two elements only - one metal and one nonmetal!
The first word in the name of a binary ionic compound is the full name of the metal.
The second word in the name of a binary ionic compound is the base name of the nonmetal with the -ide ending.
For example, sodium and chlorine form an ionic compound named sodium chloride!
Start by using the periodic table to identify which element is the metal and which is the nonmetal.
The metal name always goes first, followed by the nonmetal!
