The first element in a compound that has its ending dropped and "-ide" added is the element that forms a monatomic anion in the compound. This is usually the second element in the modern name of a compound. For example, a compound of sodium and chlorine that contains a sodium cation and a chloride anion is called "sodium chloride". However, a century or more ago, this was often called "chloride of sodium", so that the rule still works even for this style of naming.
