Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way:

[metal] [nonmetal root]-ide

Examples:

sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride

potassium + iodine = potassium iodide

Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names:

-------------------------------

ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide

sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite

calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride
