2
rules that apply
to both naming ionic
AND covalent
compounds

When naming ionic compounds, we follow the general rules:

Identify and name the cation; this is a metal element or polyatomic cation.

Identify and name the anion; this is a nonmetal element. Change the suffix to '-ide,' or use the polyatomic anion name.

                                          Good luck, son.

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.

what is the question here. i think you messed up.
