it is sulfate, sulfite and many more....
Answer:Common Polyatomic Ions:-1 Charge:
· Chlorate: CO3-1
· Chlorite: ClO2-1
· Cyanide: CN-1
· Dihydrogen Phosphate: H2PO4-1
· Ethanoate: CH3COO -1
· Hydroxide: OH-1
· Hydrogen Carbonate: HCO3-1
· Hydrogen Sulfate: HSO4-1
· Hydrogen Sulfite: HSO3-1
· Hypochlorite: ClO-1

There is a helpful phrase for remembering a few polyatomic ions.
consonants represent the number of Oxygens
Vowels represent the amount of extra electrons
NiCK- Nitrate = NO3 (-1 charge)
the
CaMeL- Carbonate CO3 (-2 charge)
ate
CLaM- Chlorate ClO3 (-1 charge)
and
BraN- Bromate BrO3 (-1 charge)
for
SuPPeR- Sulfate SO4 (-2 charge)
in
PHoeNiX- Phosphate PO4 (-3 charge)
*If the ending is -ite instead of -ate, this means the oxygen count goes down 1.
*For every hydrogen in front, the electron count goes down 1 (charge increases)
For example, Hydrogen Carbonite (or Bicarbonite) has the formula HCO2 (-1 charge)
Perchlorate= ClO4 (-1 charge) extra oxygen
Hypochlorite= ClO (-1 charge) loses 2 oxygens from base
Other polyatomic ions include:
Hydroxide- OH (-1 charge)
Ammonium- NH4 (+1 charge)
Acetate- C2H3O2 (-1 charge)
Cynide- CN (-1 charge)
Chromate- CrO4 (-2 charge)
Some common polyatomic ions are toothpaste, baking soda, sodium hydrogen carbonate.
Phosphate is the only one from the previous answer that is polyatomic. al the others are monatomic.
For example the ammonium ion (NH4)+.
The ammonium ion, NH4+, is the only polyatomic cation.
Well, a polyatomic may contain a cation in it. A cation is a positively charged ion. They are usually metals. A good way to remember is: "cats" have "paws" because they are "pawsitive". Cheesy, right? Anyways, an example of a polyatomic that contains a cation is NH4+. You know that this polyatomic has a cation by the +1 superscript. This + sign signifies a positive ion, which is called a cation!
Cation: an atom who lost electrons.Anion: an atom who gain electrons.Monoatomic ion: ion formed from one element, as chloride Cl-.Polyatomic ion: ion formed from two or more elements, as (SO4)2-.
The polyatomic ion for oxide what is it?
Yes, NaOH, (also called sodium hydroxide or lye), is an alkaline. It is in fact a very strong alkaline, strong enough to cause chemical burns.

No. An oxyanion is a polyatomic negative ion that contains oxygen. Ammonium is a cation (positive ion) and does not contain oxygen.
No, Sulfur Trixoxide SO3 is a molecule. There is a polyatomic ion called the Sulphite ion which has the formula SO32-.
Cation: an atom who lost electrons.Anion: an atom who gain electrons.Monoatomic ion: ion formed from one element, as chloride Cl-.Polyatomic ion: ion formed from two or more elements, as (SO4)2-.
It's an ionic substance. Well it's true that ionic substances are usually composed of a metal + a non-metal (or a polyatomic anion), but ionic substances can also be composed of a polyatomic cation + a non-metal (or a polyatomic anion). anion: negatively charged ion cation: positively charged ion
MgS2O3 is magnesium thiosulfate; It's a ternary compound, a metal bonded with a polyatomic ion. The metal has a fixed cation. List the cation-- magnesium-- and find the name of the polyatomic ion. S2O3 is thiosulfate, so the full name would be: Magnesium Thiosulfate.
The polyatomic ion for oxide what is it?
Yes, NaOH, (also called sodium hydroxide or lye), is an alkaline. It is in fact a very strong alkaline, strong enough to cause chemical burns.
A polyatomic ion.
You think to a ion (anion or cation).
SO4-2The sulfate ion is a polyatomic ion made up of one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms, that exists only if it can gain 2 electrons (from some metal cation or cations). It has a charge of -2. Note that this is the sulfate ion and not the sulfiteion.
