what is changed when naming the nonmetal in an ionic compound?
the ending is changed to \-ide\
the beginning is changed to \hydro-\
the ending is changed to \-ate\
the name does not change

Explanation:

When naming ionic compounds, the metal keeps its name, and the non - metal has its ending changed to “-ide”. For example, in sodium chloride ($\ce{NaCl}$), sodium (metal) keeps its name, and chlorine (non - metal) becomes chloride (ending changed to “-ide”). The “hydro -” prefix is used in some acid naming (not ionic compound non - metal naming). The “-ate” ending is used in polyatomic ion naming (like sulfate $\ce{SO^{2-}_{4}}$).

Answer:

The ending is changed to “-ide”
