<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Bases are named like ionic compounds.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed as a result of ionic bond between metal and non-metal.</u></em> This occurs as a result of transfer of electrons between the atoms involved where one losses electrons to form a cation and the other gains electrons to form an anion.
<em><u>Most bases like the ionic compounds they contain a cation and an anion, which forms a compound. </u></em>
An example would be: <em><u>KOH (potassium hydroxide) and Ca(OH)2 is calcium hydroxide.</u></em>

Explanation:

The addition of hypohalous acids to alkenes follows the Markovnikov rule. This rule states that the negative part of the addendum is joined to the carbon atom with the least number of hydrogen atoms (more substituted carbon atom).

In the addition of hypohalous acids, the halogen is the positive end of the addendum and the OH^- is the negative end of the addendum. This explains the product shown in the image attached.
