If copper atoms are going to the negative side, what
charge do they have? What about the chlorine atoms?

Since the atoms wandered towards each side, let’s call them
IONS from the Greek word, ion, meaning wanderer.

For ionic compounds with a metal from group 1A, 2A, & 3A
place the metal first and name it first. The non-metal is put
last and named last. The number of metals or non-metals is
depends on how many it takes to balance the charges.
