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.

∙ 12y agoWhen naming an Ionic compound keep in mind that ionic compounds are a metal and a non metal.
Most polyatomic ions are oxyanion (polyatomic ion) composed of an element (usually non metals) bonded to 2 or more oxygen atoms.
Ions with higher oxygen atoms end in Ate
Ions with fewer end in Ite
Ex:
NO(3) -1 Nitrate
NO(2) -1 Nitrite
PO(4) -3 Phosphate
PO(3) -1 PhosphiteTransition metals use roman numerals.
Monatomic anion ends in -Ide
If polyatomic -NAME IT
If you talking about writing out the compound just ask ;] ( I mean Mg (2+) and Cl(-) and what they become)
Hope I helped <3

∙ 15y agoTo name an ionic compound, name the cation first. Follow this with the name of the anion.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe cation goes first, than then the anion. The ending of the anion is changed to 'ide'.
e.g. magnesium+fluorine= magnesium fluoride

∙ 10y agoFirst off in simple monoatomic ions containing ONE atom the positive ion(cation) goes first, then it is succeeded by the negative ion(anion). This is the first and most basic rule.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoThe first is name of cation, the second the name of the anion.
Example: SrCl2 - strontium dichloride.

Is sodium floride a covalent bond?
Na2OSodium oxide. An ionic compound between a metal and a nonmetal. Do not use covalent bonding naming rules for ionic bonds.
Why higher oxidation state of P form covalent bond?
Higher oxidation states imply that ionic bonding is less likely. P(V) atoms would not form compounds with P5+ ions- the polarising effect of such an ion would be too great. (Fajans rules). The same argument can be applied to P(III) compounds as well so I am not clear why this question is being asked! The only ionic compounds of phosphorus involve oxidation state -3 (P3-)and it is only with the group 1 and group 2 metals that the bonding is mainly ionic.
How does electronegativity correlate with ionic bonding?
If the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic. If one of the elements is a metal the rule is then relaxed a little to a difference of 1.6. Compounds on the "boundary of the rules" such as aluminium chloride Al, 1.61 Cl, 3.16 exhibit ionic and covalent tendencies. Al2Cl6 in the solid is ionic but in the liquid and vapour dimerises to form Al2Cl6 molecules.

What are molecule compounds?
Naming Binary Molecular CompoundsBinary molecular compounds are composed of only two elements. Examples are H2O, NO, SF6 etc. . Naming these binary compounds is a little bit more involved than naming salts. Why is this so? Molecular compounds are more difficult to name because the atoms combine through covalent and not ionic bonds. Therefore we cannot use the electrical neutrality rule for these compounds. Most molecular compounds are made from nonmetals. Sometimes these compounds have generic or common names (e.g., H2O is "water") and they also have systematic names (e.g., H2O, dihydrogen monoxide). The common name must be memorized. The systematic name is more complicated but it has the advantage that the formula of the compound can be deduced from the name. Simple binary compounds consist of only a few atoms. Systematic naming of these compounds follow the rules: * The elements , except for H, are are written in order of increasing group number (e.g., NO not ON) * The number of atoms of a given type is designated by a prefix such as di- , tri-, tetra- etc. (The exception to this rule is for the first atom: if the first atom is "mono" then no prefix for it is given.) (e.g., NO is nitrogen monoxide not mononitrogen monoxide)

What are the three rules for naming compounds?
these compounds are named according to the number of oxygen atoms in each molecule.!!
Why is potassium oxide called potassium oxide?
K2OBecause it is an ionic bond between the metal potassium and the nonmetal oxygen and by the naming rules for ionic bonds this molecule is called potassium oxide. The ide is added to the nonmetal partner here.
Is sodium floride a covalent bond?
Na2OSodium oxide. An ionic compound between a metal and a nonmetal. Do not use covalent bonding naming rules for ionic bonds.

XML has no rules like html in regards to tags and naming tags, you write your own xml tags.
