When writing an ionic compound what to remember of the anion?
That the anion comes second in the formula name and is ended by the suffix ide.Example.Na +-----------the cationCl ----------------------the anion ( from chlorine )form,NaCl---------------------Sodium chloride
An ionic compound with a polyatomic cation and polyatomic anion The atoms in the anion are all from the same group?
An example of this type of compound is ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4, where the polyatomic cation is ammonium (NH4+) and the polyatomic anion is sulfate (SO4^2-). In this case, the atoms in the sulfate anion are all from the same group in the periodic table (Group 16 or the oxygen family).
When does the end of a name of a negative ion in -ide?
Anions end in -ide if they are monatomic. Example: chlorine becomes "chloride." Polyatomic ions will have different suffixes.
