because you have to
All metals can be ions. Therefore the name of any metal can be the name of it's element and it's ion. Eg: iron in iron sulphide.
by definition, ions are charged atoms. so a neutral ion doesn't exist
Cations -- which are positive ions -- and anions, which are negative ions.
'OH^-' ions are named as 'Hydroxides'. e.g. Potassium hydroxide KOH. Calcium hydroxide 'Ca(OH)2'. NB The hydroxide ion is ALWAYS written as 'OH'. Never' 'HO'. NNB Being a negatively charged ion it correctly named as an 'ANION'.
The name of a molecule with two sulfur atoms is "disulfur"
As the name implies, So2 is comprised of two sodium atoms.
To pronounce a name correctly, listen carefully to how the person says it and repeat it back to them. Pay attention to the sounds and stress in the name, and practice saying it until you feel comfortable. It's important to show respect by making an effort to say someone's name correctly.
If i recall correctly it was an ancient greek term"atomos" meaning that it couldn't be cut at all because it was so small.
Ions, or more specifically Cations. When an atom loses an electron it becomes positively charged and is attracted to a cathode, hence the name cation.
Fe2O3. Iron three contains three electrons in the outer orbit and Oxygen has two slots empty in the outer orbit, so in order for the compound to combine, three oxygen atoms are needed for two Fe atoms, and then the compound is neutral.
This is a binary salt.

The corrosion of metals involves a redox reaction. In an oxidation-reduction or redox reaction, metals lose electrons to oxygen to form a ionic compound from the metal ions and an ion of the oxide.

The compound NH4 2Cr2O7 is known as ammonium dichromate. Its chemical structure consists of two ammonium ions (NH4+) and one dichromate ion (Cr2O7^2-). The dichromate ion is composed of two chromium atoms bonded to seven oxygen atoms in a polyatomic anion.
