Are there any tips for naming compounds?

I am completly lost! Any help is really appreciated! I don't understand the -ate -ite -ide suffixes, or when to use the prefixes. I am rusty on how to do the rest of the naming as well! Thank You!

Are there any tips for naming compounds?
metal / nonmetal..... (NaCl) Sodium Chloride


trans. metal / nonmetal.... (Fe2O3) Iron (III) Oxide


nonmetal / nonmetal.... (CO2) Carbon dioxide





I hope this helps some.....

These rules seem pretty straight forward.
