Naming ions is a fairly simple process when you understand the rules. The first thing to consider is if the ion is positively or negatively charged and if it is a monoatomic ion or a polyatomic ion. You also must consider whether the ion has more than one oxidation state (charge). Once you have answered all of these questions, you can follow a few simple steps to correctly name any ion. | Naming ions is a fairly simple process when you understand the rules.
