Question

an ionic compound with +1 and -3 ions
cation anion formula name

Explanation:

Step1: Choose ions

Let's take cation as $\ce{Na+}$ (sodium ion, charge +1) and anion as $\ce{N^{3-}}$ (nitride ion, charge -3).

Step2: Balance charges

To balance the charges, we need 3 $\ce{Na+}$ ions (total positive charge $3\times(+1) = +3$) and 1 $\ce{N^{3-}}$ ion (total negative charge $-3$) so that the overall charge is zero.

Step3: Write formula

The formula is $\ce{Na3N}$.

Step4: Name the compound

The cation is sodium, the anion is nitride, so the name is sodium nitride.

Answer:

(Note: Other examples are also possible, e.g., cation $\ce{K+}$, anion $\ce{P^{3-}}$, formula $\ce{K3P}$, name potassium phosphide, etc.)
