"ide" as in lithium chlorIDE
Magnesium forms divalent cations and chlorine forms monovalent anions; therefore, the binary compound of magnesium and chloride has the formula MgCl2.
Magnesium chloride is an neutral ionic compound. In neutral ionic compounds, the positive charge of the cations must balance out the negative charge of the anions. In the case of magnesium chloride, magnesium is the cation with an ionic charge of +2 and chlorine is the anion with an ionic charge (each) of -1. Since two chlorine anions together have a charge of -2 total, they balance out the one magnesium cation with a charge of +2.
Anions bond with chlorine, so I would guess that they make compounds that are either unharmful (eg. Sodium ion + Chlorine ion = table salt) or easier to filter out.
Chlorine is an element, because it is in the Periodic Table. It forms the elemental molecule Cl2 ( Cl - Cl) It is a green extremely poisonous gas. Not found directly in nature , but only as it anions Cl^- & ClO^- etc., in NaCl ( Sodium Chloride - common salt) , and Ca(ClO)2 ( a bleach).
No. Copper carbonate is a compound. As a rule of thumb if a substance has a two-part name it is probably not an element unless one of those word refers to its state (i.e. solid, liquid, gas, vapor)

The iodine. The suffix -ide in inorganic chemical names usually indicates an anion.
No; lithium forms monatomic cations with formula Li+1.
LiH. Lithium forms monovalent cations, and in the presence of a very low electronegativity metal such as lithium, hydrogen forms monovalent anions.
Atoms of column 7A become anions when they react with atoms of group 1A elements, which become cations. Both the cations and the anions are monovalent. The cations and anions together form an ionically bonded compound.
this is an ionic compound because it involves a reaction between metals and non-metals. The most important thing here is that there is ions involved. The OH- ion hints that this is going to be an ionic equation because it contains a polyatomic ion which only occur in ionic equations. And then we look at the other side, which is Lithium, which we know to be an alkali metal. Since one side of the compound is a metal, and the other side is a polyatomic ion (multiple non-metals put together in order to form an ion that can be involved in an ionic compound) this compound can be called IONIC.
The anions.
The anions.
Fluoride anions must equal a 2- charge.
Most of the rocks contain Silicates as the basic material, silicates are anions containing Silicon and oxygen and in combination with metallic cations mostly Calcium and Magnesium.
