Cesium fluoride, naming

Step 4 Name the compound by combining the names of the individual ions. The name for CsF is cesium fluoride. (Remember that the name of the cation is always given first.)... 

Table 55 presents the results discussed above. Fluoride melts containing tantalum contain two types of complex ions, namely TaF6 and TaF72 . The equilibrium between the complexes depends on the concentration of fluoride ions in the system, but mostly upon the nature of the outer-sphere cations. The complex ionic structure of the melts can be adjusted by adding cations with a certain polarization potential. For instance, the presence of low polarization potential cations, such as cesium, leads primarily to the formation of TaF72 complexes, while the addition of cations with relatively high polarization potentials, such as lithium or sodium, shifts the equilibrium towards the formation of TaF6 ions. 

Elements are named in the same order as they appear in the formula (see above). Although there is no implication that the compound is ionic, the names ending in -ide are the same as those used for anions (e.g. fluoride, F ). For the elements listed in Table 1. anion names are derived not from English but from the Latin name which gives the chemical symbol. For example, CsAu is cesium auride.
