Concept introduction:
Generally, the elements are found as single atom particles in the universe. Moreover, some elements form monoatomic ions having different charges. To differentiate the two ions, size of the charge of ions is included when naming the ion. Conversely, for group 1A, 2A, 5A-7A elements the charge is not included while naming the ion. In common, the charge is given in the name of an ion only when the ions of an element display more than one charge which is common

Explanation of Solution
When an ionic compound having a metal that can exist in more than one ionic charge, is named the charge of metal atom should be included in the compound name. For example, Fe2(CO3)3 is named as iron(III) carbonate. The roman letters present in the parentheses indicate the oxidation state of the metal atom. By following the same set of rules the ionic compounds of various metal atoms can be named.
Thus, the names and molecular formula of ionic compounds are stated.
