Answer

A. mercury (II) bromide B. iron (III) oxide C. copper (II) iodide D. tin (IV) chloride

Work Step by Step

Name an ionic compound properly by writing the cation first. Then, follow up with the anion, changing the suffix of the nonmetal to "-ide". For cations that can have different charges, write in parentheses the charge that will balance out the charge of the anion. For example, mercury has a +2 charge in A to balance out the two 1- charges of two bromine atoms.
