(N/A) . Rules to name ions: If the coordination entity is anionic,the name of the cation is written first,followed by the name of the anionic complex.
For example: In $K_{2}[HgI_{4}]$,the name of $K^{+}$ is written first,followed by the name of $[HgI_{4}]^{2-}$. If the coordination entity is cationic,the name of the positive part is written first,followed by the name of the anion.
For example: In $[Ag(NH_{3})_{2}]OH$,the name of the positive ion $[Ag(NH_{3})_{2}]^{+}$ is written first,followed by the name of the anion,i.e.,$OH^{-}$ ion.
$B$. Rule to name ligands: If the ligands are anionic,the name must end with the suffix $-o$. If the ligands are neutral,they are given the same name as the uncoordinated molecule.
$Cl^{-}$ : Chlorido${}^{-}NH_{2}$ : Amido
$Br^{-}$ : Bromido$-NC$ : Isocyano
$I^{-}$ : Iodido$-SCN$ : Thiocyanato
$-CN$ : Cyanido$-NCS$ : Isothiocyanato
$-OH$ : Hydroxo$ONO^{-}$ : Nitrito
$H^{-}$ : Hydrido$SO_{4}^{2-}$ : Sulphato
$O^{2-}$ : Oxo$SO_{3}^{2-}$ : Sulphito
$O_{2}^{-}$ : Superoxo$PO_{4}^{3-}$ : Phosphato
$O_{2}^{2-}$ : Peroxo$CO_{3}^{2-}$ : Carbonato
$S^{2-}$ : Sulphido$CH_{3}COO^{-}$ : Acetato
$N_{3}^{-}$ : Azido$C_{2}O_{4}^{2-}$ : Oxalato
