To determine the name of an anion, you take the name of its element and replace the end with "ide".
<h3>What is an anion?</h3>
An anion in chemistry is a negatively charged ion.
Anions are usually formed when a non-metallic atom gains electron(s).
An anion is usually named by taking the elemental name, removing the ending, and adding “ide.
Examples of anions are as follows:
- fluoride (F-)
- Chloride (Cl-)
- Iodide (I-)

Answer:
Calculate the pH of a buffer prepared by mixing 30.0 mL of 0.10 M acetic acid and 40.0 mL of 0.10 M sodium acetate.
Answer:
a) ammonium ion
b) amide ion
Explanation:
The order of decreasing bond angles of the three nitrogen species; ammonium ion, ammonia and amide ion is NH4+ >NH3> NH2-. Next we need to rationalize this order of decreasing bond angles from the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory perspective.
First we must realize that all three nitrogen species contain a central sp3 hybridized carbon atom. This means that a tetrahedral geometry is ideally expected. Recall that the presence of lone pairs distorts molecular structures from the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory.
The amide ion contains two lone pairs of electrons. Remember that the presence of lone pairs causes greater repulsion than bond pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom. Hence, the amide ion has the least H-N-H bond angle of about 105°.
The ammonia molecule contains one lone pair, the repulsion caused by one lone pair is definitely bless than that caused by two lone pairs of electrons hence the bond angle of the H-N-H bond in ammonia is 107°.
The ammonium ion contains four bond pairs and no lone pair of electrons on the outermost nitrogen atom. Hence we expect a perfect tetrahedron with bond angle of 109°.
