Naming Compounds When Their Formulas Are Given

Write acceptable names for the compounds $Na_{2}S, AlF_{3}, Cu_{2}O$ .

Analyze
This task is generally easier than that of Example 3-8 because all you need to do is name the ions present. However, you must recognize that copper forms two different ions and that the cation in $Cu_{2}O$ is $Cu^{+}$ , copper(I).
