Answer:
false
Step-by-step explanation:
When an element forms a cation in an ionic bond, its name does not change to end with an '-ide.'
In an ionic bond, an element with a lower electronegativity (usually a metal) loses one or more electrons to form a positively charged ion or cation while an element with a higher electronegativity (usually a nonmetal) gains one or more electrons to form a negatively charged ion or anion.
The names of cations formed from metals usually do not change, except in the case of some transition metals that can have different oxidation states. In these cases, the name of the metal is modified to indicate its oxidation state using Roman number in parentheses following the name of the metal. For example, Fe2+ is iron(II) and Fe3+ is iron(III).
Whereas the names of anions formed from nonmetals typically end in '-ide.' For example, chlorine forms a chloride ion (Cl-) in an ionic bond, and oxygen forms an oxide ion (O2-) in an ionic bond.
In summary, while the names of cations may ulter in some cases to indicate their oxidation state, the naming convention for anions formed from nonmetals typically ends in '-ide.'
