    1)

    a) Calcium Oxide - CaO.

    b) Strontium Oxide - SrO

    c) Barium Oxide - BaO

    d) Radium Oxide - RaO

    2)

    a) Sodium Fluoride - NaF

    b) Potassium Chloride - KCl

    c) Lithium Bromide - LiBr

    d) Rubidum Iodide - RbI

    This occurs because the ions present are identical but opposite. For example, Calcium is +2 ions and Oxide is -2 ions. They cross-multiply and then cancel down.
