Compound Naming Practice
Remember, ionic compounds have NO prefixes, so the lack of a prefix does NOT mean that it contains just
one of those atoms. Review Section 6.3 for naming conventions. Important Notes: (1) the Roman numerals
next to the transition metals denote the size of the positive ionic charge and (2) you need to use the polyatomic
ions table if the anion does not end in “ide”
