Assuming I've understood what you're asking: -ide (as in, chlorine becomes chloride to indicate that it's an anion).

ide is the suffix used for the ending anion of an ionic bonding.


What is the chemical name for an ionic compound with apolyatomic cition and polyatomic anion?

The chemical name for an ionic compound with a polyatomic cation and polyatomic anion would typically be named using the names of the individual ions. The cation would be named first followed by the anion, with the ending of the anion typically changed to "-ide," similar to naming binary ionic compounds.


What name is the anion of an ionic compound called when it becomes part of the compound?

If it is a monatomic ion, the ending of its name is changed to -ide. For example, the anion formed by an oxygen atom is called oxide, and the anion formed by the chlorine atom is called chloride.


In ionic compounds the anion name is ended with what ending?

If anion is a single atom then ending is 'ide' if it is complex and also contains oxygen then with highest no of oxygen possible, ending is 'ate' otherwise is 'ite'

How do you name monatomic cations?

If it's an ion with a negative charge, it is an anion.


What is the most common ending for the name of an anion made up of only one element?

The most common ending for the name of a monatomic anion made up of only one element is "-ide." For example, when chlorine gains an electron to become an anion, it is referred to as chloride. This naming convention applies to other elements as well, such as oxide for oxygen and sulfide for sulfur.


Why is the end of a chemical name changed to distinguish an anion from its atom?

The end of a chemical name is changed to distinguish an anion from its atom by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element's name when it forms an anion. This naming convention helps to indicate the difference between the neutral atom and the negatively charged ion. For example, chlorine becomes chloride when it gains an electron to form an anion.


Ionic compounds are named by writing the cation name followed by the anion name?

Yes, for binary ionic compounds, the cation (metal) name comes first followed by the anion (nonmetal) name. The anion name typically has an "-ide" ending. For example, sodium chloride is composed of the cation sodium and the anion chloride.
