An -ate or -ite at the end of a compound name usually indicates that the compound contains .?

Answer 1

Polyatomic Anion
Oxigen. If a compound has name containing ending with -ite or -ate always contains Oxigen.
-ite indicates three or less atoms in the compound. But it usually contain less than three oxigen atom.
ex: SO3^2- sulfite ion, NO2- nitrite ion
-ate indicates three or more oxigen atoms contained in the compound
ex:ClO3- chlorate ion.
Oxygen in the form of a polyatomic anion.

Answer 2

-ate or -ite usually mean a compound contains oxygen. Usually as part of a negatively charged polyatomic ion.
Polyatomic Anion

-ate indicates three or more oxigen atoms contained in the compound
ex:ClO3- chlorate ion.
Oxygen in the form of a polyatomic anion.

Answer 3

It usually indicates that a compound contains a negative ion that includes oxygen. A compound with an -ate ending has more oxygen atoms than a similar compound with an -ite ending. A couple examples:

Potassium nitrate: KNO3

Potassium nitrite: KNO2

Sodium sulfate: Na2SO4

Sodium sulfite: Na2SO3

Answer 4

some compounds " ite " at the end of their name, like sodium chlorite. What element will be presant if "ite" is in the name of thecompound

Answer 5

A oxygen-containing anion that also includes a less electronegative element than oxygen.

Answer 6

The -ate and -ite suffix refers to the number of OXYGEN atoms. For example, nitrate is NO3- and nitrite is NO2-. Ite has 1 less O than -ate.

Answer 7

These are salts containing ions as NO3-, ClO3- (nitrate, chlorate) or NO2-, ClO2- (nitrite, chlorite).
