In ionic compounds, the cation is listed first. The cation is a positively charged ion, often a metal, while the anion, a negatively charged ion, is listed second.
Juan is correct that compounds ending in -ide typically consist of two elements, where the first element is a cation and the second element is an anion.Examples of -ide compounds include sodium chloride (NaCl) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
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.
A positive ion was formed by providing the second ionization energy to remove an electron. This process results in the formation of a cation with a higher charge than the original ion.
The name of the metal, the cation, comes first..sodium and then the nonmetal, the anion comes second with the ide suffix attached and, generally, some end of word modification. Chlorine = chloride. Sodium chloride.
Nonmetals(anion) are written second after the metal(cation).

Cations are always positive, whatever they're of. Ooh, or is that anions? Yeah, on second thoughts I think cations are negative. Hang on a minute, I'll check......nope, I was right first time. Cations are positive.
The standard formula for writing chemical compounds is to list the cation (or more positive, in the case of two or more non-metals binding) first, and to list the anion (or more negative) second. For example, NaCl (sodium chloride, table salt) lists the cation (Na+) first and the anion (Cl-) second. For non-metals, a good example is carbon dioxide (CO2) - although covalently bonded, the carbon tends to maintain a slight positive charge and the oxygens tend to maintain a slight negative charge.
Use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of each element. Name the cation first and then the anion. Use Roman numerals in parentheses to indicate the charge of transition metals that can form multiple ions.
The rule is that the metallic (or the less electronegative) element goes first, and the non-metallic (or more electronegative) element goes second. And the second element has an alteration in its name to indicate the formation of a compound. For example, sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride.

Winter had the idea of naming their second child Fall, and Spring had the idea of naming their second child Autumn. It was very hard to decide, so they had to let their first child, Summer, choose. Summer chose both.
