When naming a compound, which of these is written first?

cation

Explanation:

Metal

Nonmetal

Anion

Cation

When naming a chemical compound, the cation is written first before anything else.

A typical ionic compound consists of two components - the cation and the anion. While the cation is positively charged in ion, the anion is negatively charged. The cation of a typical ionic compound is named first before the anion and the name often carries that of the element that composes it.

The name of the element that makes up the anion is modified by removing the last few characters ending the name and replacing it with the suffix 'ide'. For example, NaCl is named sodium chloride.

jjj89t'ji; it hink the answer is your mom is not si

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
