This term [generalized salt] is taken to mean any compound in which it is possible to identify at least one constituent which is a positive ion or can be classified as electropositive or more electropositive than the other constituents, and at least one constituent which is a negative ion or can be classified as electronegative or more electronegative than the rest of the constitutents. The ordering principle is then: (i) all electropositive constituents precede all electronegative constituents;(ii) within each of the two groups of constituents, alphabetical order is used. (English)
