Rule 1. The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in the name.
Rule 2. The name of the cation is the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (e.g., Na+ = "sodium").
Rule 3. The anion is named by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., I- = "iodide").
Tritechnetium tetraphosphide
Tin Oxide
silver chlorate
Lithium nitride
No. Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary. An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons. A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements. Examples: Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic. Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary. Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.
Binary ionic compounds are named by writing the name of the action, followed by the name of the anion. Potassium bromide is an example of an ionic compound.

yes.....it is a binary ionic compound
No, AgI is a binary ionic compound. Silver (Ag) is a metal, and iodine (I) is a nonmetal. Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Aluminum Sulfide
silver(I) chloride
An ionic compound is a metal and a non metal combination. AL2O3 is Ionic. A binary covalent compound is made from two non metals. N2O3 is covalent.
