Write down the formula of the ionic compound. Let's say the ionic compound you're working with is NaCl
Write the name of the metal, or the cation.This is the positively charged ion in the compound, and it is always written first in ionic compound formulas.Na is sodium. So, write Sodium.
Write the name of the nonmetal, or the anion, with the "-ide" ending. Cl is chlorine. To add the "ide" ending, just drop the last syllable, "-ine," and add "-ide" instead. Chlorine becomes chloride.
Combine the names. NaCl can be written as sodium chloride
Practice naming more simple ionic compounds. Once you've gotten this formula down, try naming a few more simple ionic compounds. Even memorizing a few can help you have a better understanding of how to name ionic compounds.
