  • Monoatomic Anion
    A negatively charged ion formed from a single nonmetal atom by gaining electrons.
  • Systematic Naming
    A method that modifies the ending of a nonmetal's name to 'ide' for its anion form.
  • Base Name
    The unchanged initial part of a nonmetal's name used as the root in anion naming.
  • Nonmetal
    An element, often found on the right side of the periodic table, that forms anions by gaining electrons.
  • Negative Charge
    An electrical property resulting from an excess of electrons compared to protons in an ion.
  • Hydride
    The anion formed when hydrogen gains an electron, named by adding 'ide' to its base name.
  • Chloride
    The anion derived from chlorine, named by attaching 'ide' to its base name.
  • Suffix
    The ending part of a word, such as 'ide', added to indicate an anion in systematic naming.
  • Periodic Table
    A chart organizing elements by atomic number, used to identify nonmetals for anion naming.
  • Fluoride
    The anion formed from fluorine, named by combining its base name with the 'ide' ending.
  • Oxide
    The anion resulting from oxygen, named by adding 'ide' to its base name.
  • Bromide
    The anion created from bromine, named by joining its base name with the 'ide' suffix.
  • Iodide
    The anion produced from iodine, named by appending 'ide' to its base name.
  • Sulfide
    The anion originating from sulfur, named by adding 'ide' to its base name.
