Examples are for English: -ide, -ate, -ite.
The suffix "-ide" is used in the part of the name that represents the anion in a binary ionic compound. For example, chloride, oxide, and sulfide are examples of anions that form binary ionic compounds.
ide
The non-metal suffix is changed to "ide" when a compound is formed. This indicates that the non-metal is in its elemental form and has gained electrons to form an anion in the compound.
A typical monatomic anion will have the suffix -ide; Examples: oxide (O2-), chloride (Cl-), sulfide (S2-).
When the name of the acid anion ends in -ide, the prefix hydro- is used when naming acids. This is followed by the stem of the anion with the suffix -ic and the word acid. For example, chloride becomes hydrochloric acid.
An "-ide" ending in a compound typically indicates that the compound is a binary compound, meaning it consists of two different elements. The element with the "-ide" ending usually gains electrons to form an anion.
When naming a binary compound, the ending used to represent anions is typically "-ide." For example, in sodium chloride (NaCl), the chloride ion is derived from chlorine and is named with the "-ide" suffix. This naming convention indicates that the compound consists of two elements: a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.
The name of a binary ionic compound consists of the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion. The cation keeps its elemental name, while the anion is named by dropping the ending of the element and adding "-ide." The charges on the ions must balance to create a neutral compound.
The first element in a compound that has its ending dropped and "-ide" added is the element that forms a monatomic anion in the compound. This is usually the second element in the modern name of a compound. For example, a compound of sodium and chlorine that contains a sodium cation and a chloride anion is called "sodium chloride". However, a century or more ago, this was often called "chloride of sodium", so that the rule still works even for this style of naming.
The suffix "-ide" is used in the part of the name that represents the anion in a binary ionic compound. For example, chloride, oxide, and sulfide are examples of anions that form binary ionic compounds.
To name a type I binary ionic compound when given a formula, you use the names of the metal cation followed by the non-metal anion. The metal cation keeps its element name, while the non-metal anion drops its ending and changes to “-ide.” For example, NaCl is named sodium chloride.
The last part in the chemical formula of a binary ionic compound is usually the anion, which is negatively charged and is represented by its element symbol. It is written after the cation in the formula to show the complete chemical composition of the compound.
A binary ionic compound is formed between two elements, typically a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. For example, sodium chloride (NaCl) is a type of binary ionic compound where sodium (metal) forms a cation and chlorine (nonmetal) forms 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".
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.
ide is the suffix used for the ending anion of an ionic bonding.
The chemical formula KCl is for potassium chloride.
