Answer:Explanation:

The Roman numeral must have the same value as the charge of the ion. In our example, the transition metal ion Fe2+ would have the name iron(II). Add the name of the anion to the transition metal ion. In our example, FeCl2 would have the name iron(II) chloride since the anion is Cl-, which has the name chloride.
