Explanation:

For naming ionic compounds, the name of the cation (metal) is written first followed by the name of the anion (non - metal). For monatomic anions, the ending of the element name is changed to “-ide”.

• For \(NaI\): \(Na\) is sodium (cation) and \(I\) (iodine) becomes iodide (anion).
• For \(SrS\): \(Sr\) is strontium (cation) and \(S\) (sulfur) becomes sulfide (anion).
• For \(MgF_2\): \(Mg\) is magnesium (cation) and \(F\) (fluorine) becomes fluoride (anion).
• For \(NaF\): \(Na\) is sodium (cation) and \(F\) (fluorine) becomes fluoride (anion).

Answer:

• Part A: Sodium iodide
• Part B: Strontium sulfide
• Part C: Magnesium fluoride
• Part D: Sodium fluoride
