Why cation is written first

Answers

Answered by brianydon

The overall ionic formula for a compound must be electrically neutral, meaning it has no charge. When writing the formula for the ionic compound, the cation comes first, followed by the anion, both with numeric subscripts to indicate the number of atoms of each.
