    Since this is an ionic compound, name the cation first and then the anion.

    Cation: tin (Sn)

    Anion: sulfate (SO4)

    It doesn't matter with ionic compounds how many cations/anions you have, but mention the charge of the tin, since it can take on + 2 and + 4 charges.

    In this ionic compound, it has a + 4 charge.

    Tin (IV) sulfate
