If anion is a single atom then ending is 'ide' if it is complex and also contains oxygen then with highest no of oxygen possible, ending is 'ate' otherwise is 'ite'

Binary ionic compounds are named in what pattern?

Binary ionic compounds are named by first stating the name of the cation (metal) followed by the name of the anion (nonmetal) with an -ide ending.


Ionic compounds are named by writing the cation name followed by the anion name?

Yes, for binary ionic compounds, the cation (metal) name comes first followed by the anion (nonmetal) name. The anion name typically has an "-ide" ending. For example, sodium chloride is composed of the cation sodium and the anion chloride.


What should the anion of an ionic or molecular compound end with?

ide is the suffix used for the ending anion of an ionic bonding.


What ending is added to anion in a binary ionic compound?

Examples are for English: -ide, -ate, -ite.


Ionic compounds are composed of?

When naming binary ionic or covalent compounds change the suffix of the anions name to what?

When naming binary ionic compounds, the suffix of the anion's name is changed to "-ide." For covalent compounds, the suffix of the anion's name does not change.


Is iodine a cation or anion?

An iodine is an anion, or a negatively charged ion.


What is the chemical name for an ionic compound with apolyatomic cition and polyatomic anion?

The chemical name for an ionic compound with a polyatomic cation and polyatomic anion would typically be named using the names of the individual ions. The cation would be named first followed by the anion, with the ending of the anion typically changed to "-ide," similar to naming binary ionic compounds.


Did Ionic compounds end in what suffix?

Ionic compounds typically end in "-ide" as a suffix for the anion component of the compound. For example, sodium chloride and potassium iodide are common ionic compounds.


Is AgMnO4 ionic or molecular?

AgMnO4 would be considered ionic since it consists of cations (Ag+) and an anion (MnO4-). Ionic compounds typically consist of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.


Are ionic compounds metal?

Ionic compounds are typically made up of a metal cation and a non-metal anion. The metal cation provides the positive charge, while the non-metal anion provides the negative charge. So, while not all ionic compounds contain a metal, they often do.


When naming binary ionic compounds are the nonmetal is named first?

No, the metal is named first in binary ionic compounds. The name of the metal cation is followed by the name of the nonmetal anion, with the nonmetal's name ending in "-ide". For example, NaCl is named sodium chloride.
