Rules 1.
The first element is named first, using the
elements name. 2.
Second element is named as an Anion (suffix
"-ide") 3.
Prefixes are used to denote the number of atoms 4.
"Mono" is not used to name the first
element
Note: when the
addition of the Greek prefix places two vowels
adjacent to one another, the "a" (or
the "o") at the end of the Greek
prefix is usually dropped; e.g.,
"nonaoxide" would be written as
"nonoxide", and "monooxide"
would be written as "monoxide". The
"i" at the end of the prefixes
"di-" and "tri-" are never
dropped.
