What are some simple rules for naming ionic compounds?
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.
What is the second row nonmetals that forms electron deficient compounds?
boron
How are nonmetals in ionic compounds named?
Nonmetals(anion) are written second after the metal(cation).
Why is calcium nitride written like CaN2 and not something else?
In writing the formula of an ionic compound the cation (positive ion) is always written first and the anion (negative ion) is always written second. in Ca3N2 Ca2+ is the cation and N3- is the anion.
Where is a cation found in a formula?
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.
Is an ion a cation or anion?
an ion is divided into cation and an anion . cation has a positive sign whereas anion a negative.

What is the rule for naming compounds with only two elements?
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.

Why did Winter and Spring argue over what name their second child?
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.
