text: Monatomic anions are named as the element modified with an -ide ending. The charge follows in brackets, (optional for 1) e.g.:
  * Cl) or chloride
  * S)
  Some elements take their Latin name as the root e.g
  *silver, Ag, argentide
  *copper, Cu, cupride
  *iron, Fe, ferride
  *tin, Sn, stannide
  Polyatomic anions of the same element are named as the element name preceded by di-, tri-, etc., e.g.:
  * O) (or peroxide as an acceptable name)
  * C) (or acetylide as an acceptable name)
  * S)
  or sometimes as an alternative derived from a substitutive name e.g.
  * S</sup> disulfanediide
  Polyatomic anions made up of different elements are named either substitutively or additively, the name endings are -ide and -ate respectively e.g. :
  * GeH) (additive)
  *TeH</sup> tellanuide substitutive where -uide specifies anion composed of additional hydride attached to parent hydride
  * [PF]-phosphanuide (substitutive), or hexafluoridophosphate(1) (additive)
  *SO) (additive), or sulfite (acceptable non-systematic name)
  A full list of the alternative acceptable non-systematic names for cations and anions is in the recommendations.
  Many anions have names derived from inorganic acids and these are dealt with later.
