Naming Ionic Compounds
The metal is written first, the nonmetal second.
The name of the nonmetal will be altered, the last syllable will be changed to end in 'ide'.
Writing Ionic Formula
Writing the chemical formula of ionic compounds using atomic abbreviations from the periodic table.
Subscripts are used to denote how many of each atom is in the ionic compound.
Record the abbreviation of the metal, followed by the nonmetal.
Subscripts - determined by the charge of each ion - the overall charge of the compound must be neutral. 
Subscripts go to the bottom-right of the atom they are assigned to.
Example :
Sodium + Nitrogen
Na + N → Na+ + N3- (need 3 Na+ to balance the charge on N3- ) → Na3N
Name: Sodium nitride

Gallium + Phosphorus
Ga + P → (ions) _______ + _______ → (compound/formula) _______ 
Name: _______ 

Rubidium + Nitrogen
Rb + N → (ions) _______ + _______ → (compound/formula) _______ 
Name: _______ 

Calcium + Bromine
Ca + Br → (ions) _______ + _______ → (compound/formula) _______ 
Name: _______ 

Indium + Nitrogen
In + N → (ions) _______ + _______ → (compound/formula) _______ 
Name: _______ 

This one is tricky.

Strontium + Phosphorus
Sr + P → (ions) _______ + _______ → (compound/formula) _______ 
Name: _______ 

Write the name for the following ionic formulae:
a. TlBr3 _______ 
b. NaBr _______ 
c. Cu2O _______ 
d. SnS2 _______ 
e. Fe2O3 _______
