A non metal must gain from 2 to 3 electrons to form an anion.
The releasing agent reacts perferentially with the anion forming stable compound andreleasing the analyte.
An Ionic compound (salt) is produced.
Non-metals gain electrons. Hence, they can easily form anions.
The two elements that make the compound "salt", are sodium (metal) and chloride (non-metal). These two elements are bonded together to create sodium chloride as we call it "salt". Sodium particle-> O + O <-Chloride particle = Sodium chloride (salt).
An ionic compound generally forms from a metal and a nonmetal. The nonmetal oxidizes the metal, forming a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. They ions are held together by the electrical attraction. Ions often bond in latticed structures to form crystals.
The phosphides are chemical compounds; the anion phosphide is from the nonmetal P.
Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion (a nonmetal etc.).

A non metal must gain one or two electrons to form an anion
This atom gains electrons.
The releasing agent reacts perferentially with the anion forming stable compound andreleasing the analyte.
An Ionic compound (salt) is produced.
A nitrogen anion forms when a nitrogen atom gains three electrons, forming a nitride ion, N3-.
Reaction between a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide to produce a salt containing at least three elements is a synthesis reaction. The salt almost always contains at least one monatomic metal cation and at least one polyatomic anion that contains all of the elements of the reacted nonmetal oxide plus the oxygen atoms from the metal oxide. This type of anion is called an "oxyanion" or the "anion of an oxyacid."
