Explain why sulfur aluminide is not a correct name for the ionic compound formed between sulfur and aluminum?

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.


Why is sulfur aluminide an incorrect name for the ionic compound formed between sulfur and aluminium?

"Sulfur aluminide" is an incorrect name because it does not follow the naming convention for ionic compounds. The correct name for the compound formed between sulfur and aluminum would be "aluminum sulfide" as sulfur takes on a -2 charge in the compound.


What are chemistry fundamentals?

A lot of chemistry taught in high school is based on polyatomics and the rules of them. If you know your polyatomics then it goes a long way. Knowing polyatomics will help you with ternary acids and ionic naming. As well as ionic naming there's covalent naming which does not use the polyatomics but prefixes. Then knowing your naming will help you with equations and different types of replacement reactions. All of these are considered fundamentals of chemistry but doesn't cover all of them. I would recommend getting a few books from the library, specifically Easy Chemistry: Step-By-Step or a few other textbooks. What really will help in chemistry is to do a lot of problems and this book specifically gives problems. Also, the ChemTeam website has a lot of problems and explains how to do it well.

When naming a hawiaain baby do use a hawiaain name first or English?

I would use an English name, because when s/he goes to school they will be teased. But if you really like a Hawaiian name and don't mind if your child gets teased all through their school years, then don't let me stop you from naming your baby a Hawaiian name.

When naming a ray the order of the letters matters?

Yes. If your ray's endpoint is the letter A and it goes on forever in the direction of the letter B, that is not the same as a ray that starts at the letter B and goes on forever in the direction of the letter A. So always name your ray starting with the endpoint letter.
