The binary compound NaF is named "sodium fluoride." Here’s the breakdown of the naming process:
Identify the Elements: Na is sodium and F is fluorine.
Naming Convention: For binary compounds (compounds composed of two different elements), the name is generally formed by combining the name of the first element (sodium) with the modified name of the second element (fluorine).
Modification: In binary ionic compounds, the second element's name is changed to end in "-ide." So, fluorine becomes fluoride.
Therefore, NaF is named sodium fluoride.
