Determine the charge on each ion in the following compounds, and name the compound. Spelling counts!

I can't really answer his if there is no given. However, there are general rules to follow when naming ionic compounds. For example, if the given compound is written as: MgCl₂.

There are two elements that we could find: Mg and Cl. The rule is to write the positive ion first, followed by the negative ion. The individual charges of each element is the subscript of the other. Since Cl has a subscript of 2, then Mg has a charge of + 2. Since Mg has a subscript of 1, then Cl has a charge of - 2.

Finally, the rule of naming the ionic compound is to name the ions individually in order, but you have to take the suffix - ide (if the charge is - 1). Thus, the name of the compound is Magnesium Chloride,
