© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 5, Section 3 6 Step 1 Identify the cation and anion. The cation from Group 2A (2) is Mg 2+, and the anion from Group 5A (15) is N 3−. Step 2 Name the cation by its element name. Cation: Mg 2+ is magnesium Step 3 Name the anion by using the first syllable of its element name followed by ide. Anion: nitrogen becomes nitride, N 3− Step 4 Write the name for the cation first and the name for the anion second. Mg 3 N 2 is magnesium nitride. Naming Mg 3 N 2
