Rules for naming compounds of two elements
If contains a metal, the name of it comes first
NaCl SODIUM chloride; BeS BERYLLIUM sulfide; CaO CALCIUM oxide
If contains a non-metal, its name is changed using "IDE" at the end
NaCl sodium chlorIDE; LiF Lithium fluorIDE; CuO copper oxIDE
If the compound is a combination of a metal and oxygen, its name ends with oxide
MgO magnesium OXIDE; CaO calcium OXIDE; Al2O3 aluminium OXIDE
