Answer 1

Answer:

It will be D. suffix

Explanation:

If we want to name an ionic compound like NaCl then we can easily write its name. Na is sodium and Cl is chlorine. First we write the name of the metal ion and then the name of the anion it has. Here we have mono atomic ion and for these we use the suffix -ide. So, the name will be sodium chloride.
