Not much. Different name mostly.


How do you know whether to put ide or ate at the end of a compound?

The name of an oxoanion ends with 'ate' when the central atom of it has the highest possible oxidation number. If it is slightly lesser (mostly 2), the common names of these compounds end with 'ite'. If the anion has no oxygen in it, usually it ends with 'ide'.


Do polyatomic anions always end in -ide?

They are a binary Compound (Only two Elements)


Why do some compounds end in ate and some in ide?

Compounds that end in "-ate" typically contain a polyatomic ion, which is made up of multiple atoms connected by covalent bonds. Compounds that end in "-ide" typically consist of two elements, with one acting as a metal and the other as a nonmetal, forming an ionic bond. The naming convention reflects the different chemical structures and bonding types present in these compounds.

When does the end of a name of a negative end ide?

Anions end in -ide if they are monatomic. Example: chlorine becomes "chloride." Polyatomic ions will have different suffixes.


Monatomic anions that are ionically or covalently bonded use which suffix for naming?

Most often "ide", but "ate" and "ite" are also common when the compound includes an anion containing oxygen bonded to some other element.


What ending is added to anion in a binary ionic compound?

Examples are for English: -ide, -ate, -ite.


What does the suffixes -ate -ite and -ide mean in chemistry?

In chemistry, the suffix -ate indicates an anion with more oxygen atoms compared to the base element, -ite indicates an anion with fewer oxygen atoms, and -ide typically indicates a binary compound where two elements are bonded together.
