Binary Ionic Compounds (Type I)

1. The cation (positively charged ion; Na+, Al3+) is always named first and the anion
(negatively charged ion; Cl-, O2-) second.
2. A monatomic (meaning one-atom) cation takes its name from the name of the
element.  For example, Na+ is called sodium in the names of compounds
containing this ion.
3. A monatomic anion is named by taking the root of the element name and adding -
ide.  Thus, the Cl- ion is called chloride, the S2- ion is called sulfide, and the O2- ion
is called oxide.

Some common monatomic cations and anions are shown below

Cation Name Cation Name   Anion Name Anion Name
+ + - -
H Hydrogen Li Lithium   H Hydride F Fluoride
Na+ Sodium K+ Potassium   Cl- Chloride Br- Bromide
Cs+ Cesium Be2+ Beryllium   I- Iodide O2- Oxide
Mg2+ Magnesium Ca2+ Calcium   S2- Sulfide Se2- Selenide
Ba2+ Barium Al3+ Aluminum   N3- Nitride P3- Phosphide
Zn2+ Zinc Ag+ Silver   As3- Arsenide C4- Carbide

RULES FOR NAMING TYPE I BINARY IONIC COMPOUND

[Alkali/Alkali Earth (cation) + Non Metal (anion)]
 1. Cation is named before anion
 2. Cation retains the full name
 3. Anion drops suffix "-ine" and adds suffix "-ide"
  

Cation full name + Anion root + -ide

Ex. NaCl= sodium chloride, Rb2O= rubidium oxide, SrI2= strontium iodide

Binary Ionic Compounds (Type II)
1. The cation of a transition metal is always named first (like any cation) and the anion
second.
2. A monatomic (meaning one-atom) cation takes its name from the name of the element.
For example, Cu+ is called Copper(I) and Cu2+ is called Copper(II) in the names of
compounds containing these ions.  The number in parentheses is the charge of the cation.
3. All transition metal cations, except Zn2+, Cd2+, and Ag+ (which always have the charges
shown here), must show the oxidation number (charge) in parantheses following the
English spelling of the element, such as Iron(III), Copper(I), or Vanadium(V), whenever
a compound containing these ions, which have multiple charges, is named.
4. For the cations in Groups IIIA-VIA (including, Sn, Pb, Ga, Bi, etc.) also have multiple
charges, even though they are not transition metals.  For all the metals in these groups
(except Al, which, of course, always has a +3 charge), include a paranthesis after the
name, and show its positive charge as a Roman numeral (Pb2+ is Lead(II) in names)

 RULES FOR NAMING TYPE II BINARY IONIC COMPOUND

[Transition Metal(cation) + Non Metal(anion)]

 1. Cation is named before anion

 2. Cation retains the full name
 3. Determine the charge of the cation and specify 
     by a Roman numeral in parentheses
 4. Anion drops suffix "-ine" and adds suffix "-ide"

 Cation full name + (charge in Roman Numeral) + Anion root +

-ide
CuCl=copper(I) chloride
Fe2O3= iron (III) oxide
MnO2= manganese (IV) oxide
PbCl4= lead (IV) chloride
