The classical method of naming ionic compounds is the use of Latin prefixes to signify ion charge and -ic or -ous as a suffix.
For example: plumbum is known to be element Pb on the periodic table, as well as stannum (sn), Natrium (na), cuprum(Cu), Ferrum(Fe), Aurum(Au), Kalium(k), Argentum(Ag), wolfram(W) and Hydragyrum(Hg).
These are all classical names for these elements when used in a compound and when they have -ous or -ic on the ending it means either it is representing a smaller charge or a larger charge. -ous reps smaller, -ic reps bigger. An example of this is plumbous, which means that it is using the charge of 2. Where as if you used plumbic, it would represent the charge of 4.
-CU+1 is cuprous chloride
-CU+2 is cupric chloride
The classical is limited when you have a multivalent metal 72 charges. Therefore we use the stock system.

What are the 2 methods of naming ionic compound having metal with variable oxidation number?
The two methods of naming ionic compounds with a metal that exhibits variable oxidation states are using the Stock system (Roman numerals in parentheses) and the Common system (using suffixes -ous and -ic). The Stock system is more commonly used and provides a specific indication of the metal's oxidation state in the compound.
When naming binary ionic or covalent compounds change the suffix of the anions name to what?
When naming binary ionic compounds, the suffix of the anion's name is changed to "-ide." For covalent compounds, the suffix of the anion's name does not change.
Why do molecules and ionic compounds have to follow different rules when being named?
Molecules are composed of nonmetals and follow covalent bonding rules, while ionic compounds are composed of metals and nonmetals and follow ionic bonding rules. Naming conventions differ because the way elements combine in molecules and ionic compounds is distinct, leading to different naming systems.
When naming ionic bonds the non metals' ending is changed to what?
When naming ionic compounds, the non metals' ending is changed to "-ide". "Ionic bonds" do not have particular names.
Are Ionic compounds named using numerical prefixes?
No, Ionic compounds are named using the names of the individual ions that make up the compound. Numerical prefixes are used in naming molecular covalent compounds.
What is the method called for naming ionic compounds using Roman numerals?
I'm not sure if it has a name, but most call it 'naming ionic compounds with multiple ion charges'. I think that what you're looking for is the "Stock System."

How can water that contains disolved ionic compounds be separated from the ionic compounds?
The method is the evaporation of water followed by condensation of water.
Why are prefixes used in naming ionic compounds?
two ions can combine in only one combination

Are Ionic compounds named using numerical prefixes?
No, Ionic compounds are named using the names of the individual ions that make up the compound. Numerical prefixes are used in naming molecular covalent compounds.
Do you use the naming prefixes when naming ionic compounds?
No, formulas of ionically bonded compounds can be figured out without prefixes and understanding of how many electrons are gained/lost. In covalent bonds, prefixes are needed and without them the formulas and quantities couldn't be determined.
Why aren't prefixes used in naming ionic compounds?
Prefixes are not used in naming ionic compounds because the charges of the ions involved determine the ratio in which they combine, thus eliminating the need for numerical prefixes to specify the number of atoms of each element. Ionic compounds are named using the names of the individual ions involved, without using prefixes to indicate the number of atoms.
True or false in naming the ionic compounds the cation is always named first and the anion second?
True. In naming ionic compounds, the cation (positively charged ion) is always named first followed by the anion (negatively charged ion). This convention helps identify the elements and their charges in the compound.
Why are prefixes not used in naming ionic compounds?
two ions can combine in only one combination
