Ionic Bonding and its Applications

Ionic nomenclature is the process by which ionic compounds are named and identified. The basic rules for naming and identifying ionic compounds are (1) cation is named first and (2) anion is named second, plus the suffix -ide. The charge on an ion is the number of electrons gained or lost, and the net charge of any ionic compound must be zero. This quiz is a review of ionic nomenclature. Using all the information you have learned in regards to ionic bonding, please answer the following questions by selecting the best answer.
