Hi Everyone,
 There is a confusion created by our lecturer about naming of organic salts.
Normally when the chemical Formula of salt are written; first cation is written then anion is written. For example,  sodium chloride is written as NaCl. But in case of organic acid salt  like CH₃COONa (Sodium Acetate) Cation is written after anion. Is the any exception for organic salt or some  other rule is applied for them?

It is coming from the writing of organic acids. Acetic acid is CH₃COOH. For this reason also the salts written in same way by exchange of the acidic hydrogen. But it is not wrong to write the metal first. Also in newer books hydrochloric is written as ClH and so sodium chloride ClNa.
