Concept Introduction:

Binary compounds are defined as those ionic compounds that contain metal ions connected to nonmetal ions. The overall charge of such compounds is neutral because the oppositely charged metal cations and nonmetal anions are bonded to each other.

They are named by adding suffix-ide to the name of the element. On the other hand, the binary acids are named by adding suffix-ic to the name of the element.
