That the anion comes second in the formula name and is ended by the suffix ide.
Example.
Na +
-----------the cation
Cl -
---------------------the anion ( from chlorine )
form,
NaCl
---------------------Sodium chloride
Typically in writing an ionic compound, the cation is written first, then the anion.
The name of an ionic compound typically consists of the cation followed by the anion. For example, in the compound sodium chloride (NaCl), "sodium" is the cation and "chloride" is the anion.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Sodium sulfide is Na2S. Two ions can be separated: Na+ and S=. The negative ion S= is the anion.
LaBr3 is Lanthanum tribromide, and it is an ionic compound.

An ionic compound contain a cation and an anion.
In naming a binary ionic compound, the name of the cation (metal) appears first, followed by the name of the anion (non-metal). The cation keeps its elemental name, while the anion's name is modified to end in "-ide".
No, an ionic compound needs an anion (negative ion) and a cation (positive ion).
ide is the suffix used for the ending anion of an ionic bonding.
Examples are for English: -ide, -ate, -ite.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Yes salt is formed from ionic bonding of a cation and an anion.
Sodium sulfide is Na2S. Two ions can be separated: Na+ and S=. The negative ion S= is the anion.
LaBr3 is Lanthanum tribromide, and it is an ionic compound.
