Which statement describes how the binary ionic compound cacl2 is named?
a. the nonmetal is named first, and the ending is replaced with -ide.
b. the metal is named first, and the ending is replaced with -ide.
c. the nonmetal is named second, and the ending is replaced with -ide.
d. the metal is named second, and the ending is replaced with -ide.

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The name of binary ionic compound is calcium chloride. It comprises of a metal which is calcium and a non-metal which is chlorine.

For naming of , the metal is named first whereas the non-metal is named afterwards. The name of non-metal ends with the suffix -ide.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement nonmetal is named second, and the ending is replaced with -ide describes how the binary ionic compound is named.
