Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the cation and anion in each compound.
Determine the charge of the cation based on the anion's charge and the overall neutrality of the compound.
For transition metals, use Roman numerals to indicate the cation's charge in the compound's name.
Combine the cation name and the anion name, ensuring the anion ends with '-ide'.
Write the full name of each compound using the rules for naming ionic compounds.
