Want this question answered?
If the first element in it is a cation, it is just about always an ionic compound.
Typically in writing an ionic compound, the cation is written first, then the anion.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
ionic compounds can desociate into anion & cation.. non ionic compounds can not desociates into anion & cation..

The cation is written first in the chemical formula for a binary ionic compound.
Binary ionic compounds are named by writing the name of the action, followed by the name of the anion. Potassium bromide is an example of an ionic compound.
An ionic compound contain a cation and an anion.

In naming an ionic compound, the cation is named first, with no modification of the element name, and the anion is named secondly, with the element name modified by the suffix "ide". The incorrect name given in the question applies the proper method for the cation to the anion and vice versa.
When the compound contains an ion with more than one atom in each ion, and the number of such units in a formula unit of the ionic compound is at least 2, parentheses are needed in the formula of the compound. In more conventional naming, parentheses containing a Roman number are often used after the name of a cation to denote its oxidation state, particular for atoms that form more than one stable cation.
Lithium. Lithium and hydrogen combine to make lithium hydride, an ionic compound, in which lithium is the cation (positive) and hydrogen is the anion (negative). The cation is always first in the chemical formula for an ionic compound.
ionic compounds can desociate into anion & cation.. non ionic compounds can not desociates into anion & cation..
A cation is a positive ion and an anion is a negative ion. So the compound you are describing as an ionic one. For example, Cation + Anion --> Ionic Compound Fe3++ O2- --> Fe2O3
