The rule for writing the name of an ionic base is to use the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion, ending in -ide. Example: Sodium chloride for NaCl.
Rule 1. The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in the name.Rule 2. The name of the cation is the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (e.g., Na+ = "sodium").Rule 3. The anion is named by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., I- = "iodide").
It depends on the rule you use to classify it. Magnesium Sulfide is ionic, if using the metal-nonmetal rule. It is polar covalent, if using the 1.7 electronegativity difference rule. Both these rules are generalizations.
Yes. As a basic rule of thumb, a compound that is comprised of a metal and non-metal is an ionic compound.
The sum of an ionic charge represents the total charge of an ionic compound formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms to achieve stability through the octet rule. It is equal to zero in a neutral ionic compound where the positive and negative charges balance each other out.
When naming ionic compounds with variable oxidation numbers, the cation's charge is specified using Roman numerals in parentheses after the metal's name. For example, iron(II) chloride and iron(III) chloride for FeCl2 and FeCl3, respectively.

The name of the cation is the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (e.g., Na+ = "sodium").Rule 3.

If the difference in electronegativity between the elements is greater than 2 then the bond will be ionic, if its between 1.6 and 2 then it will be ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
The rule of zero helps you predict the formula of an ionic compound because the anion will always want to bond with a action to get zero net charge on the compound.
The rule of zero charge helps you predict the formula of an ionic compound because you know that what anion is present, the action that bonds will make the net charge zero.
Simplest rule: metal + non-metal gives an ionic bond Next simplest: electronegativity difference greater than say 1.7 Remember rule 1 "In inorganic chemistry there are exceptions to every rule even this one"

This is Ammonium acetate and it's an ionic compound. The first element in an Ionic compound's formula is usually a metal because ionic compounds consist of a cation and an anion binding. The only common exception to this rule is is ammonium. Not only is it ionic but its a polyatomic ionic compound.
Neon does not typically form ionic compounds because it already has a full valence shell with 8 electrons, satisfying the octet rule. Its electron configuration (1s^2 2s^2 2p^6) makes it very stable and unreactive with other elements.

There is no rule that says that.
