How are iconic compounds named?

Iconic compounds are named using the rules established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The name typically consists of the cation (positive ion) followed by the anion (negative ion). For example, in sodium chloride (NaCl), "sodium" is the cation and "chloride" is the anion. In cases where the metal can have multiple oxidation states, Roman numerals are used to indicate the specific charge, such as iron(III) oxide for Fe₂O₃.
