Naming Ionic Compounds
Cation first, then anion
Monatomic cation = name of the
element
Ca2+ = calcium ion
Monatomic anion = root + -ide
Cl- = chloride
CaCl2 = calcium chloride
Naming Ionic Compounds
(continued)
 some metal forms more than one cation
 use Roman numeral in name
 PbCl2
 Pb2+ is cation
 PbCl2 = lead(II) chloride
Metals with multiple oxidation states
