No. Usually, the second compound is negitive.

The polarity of a compound can be irrelevant to its naming or molecular formula. In cases of a metal+nonmetal as in NaCl and FeO the first elements are positive ions. Covalently bonded H20 has an electronegative oxygen (and dipole moment), again it is listed second. Lastly. there are also diatomic molecules such as O2 and N2 which do not follow the statement either.
