First name the Metal (Iron) as it is. And then

First name the Metal (Magnesium)
as it is. And then name the non
metal which is (sulfur) replacing the
ur with ide.
Naming Rule
name the non metal which is (Bromine)
replacing the ne with de. The Iron has a 2 plus
charge so we need to write the 2 plus charge in
roman number form between Iron and Bromine
Write the metal as it is and write the Polyatomic First figure out the prefix for each of the element Write the positive ion first then write the
as it is. you have. Second write the prefix before the element negative ion and put an Ide at the end.
= Iron (II) Bromide name. Finally add an ide at the end of the second
element.

Leave the Magnesium as it is and
replace the (sulfur) with sulfide.
= Magnesium sulfide
Iron has 2 plus charge.So we add roman
number 2 in between Iron and Bromide. Ca3(PO4) 2 NF3 HCl
= Nitrogen Trifluride = Hydrogen Chloride
FeBr2 Ca 3 - Calcium
= Iron (II) Bromide Since N has at least 1 atom it stays the same and Since Hydrogen is the first we keep it the
PO 4 - Phosphate since F has at least 3 atoms it becomes Trifluride. same. Chlorine is the second element so
we put an ide at the end.
= Ca3(PO4) 2 - Calcium Phosphate So NF3 = Nitrogen Trifluride
HCl = Hydrogen Chloride
