Read each question carefully and provide the best answer. Remember the rules for naming binary ionic compounds.
Binary ionic compounds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal. The metal always comes first in the name and formula, followed by the nonmetal. The nonmetal's name changes its ending to '-ide'. For transition metals, a Roman numeral is used to indicate its charge.
1. What is the correct name for the compound NaCl?
Sodium Chlorine
Sodium Chloride
Chlorine Sodium
Monosodium Monochloride
2. Which of the following compounds requires a Roman numeral in its name?
Al2O3
LiF
FeCl3
CaO
3. The metal in a binary ionic compound is always named .
