This isn't a rule.
Except chloride, all others are polyatomic ions.
All ions have an electrical charge.
For example no3 or co3 are all polyatomic ions
Polyatomic ions.
Polyatomic ions with the suffix -ate typically contain one or more oxygen atoms. These ions often form from the combination of a central atom with oxygen and other elements, creating a negatively charged ion with a specific overall charge.
There is no charge. All compounds are electrically neutral. If you mean the charges of the component ions, copper carries a 2+ charge and the hydroxide ions carry a 1- charge.
For a neutral molecule it is zero, for polyatomic ions the sum is the same as the ionic charge.
Atoms can covalently bond together to produce a polyatomic ion, which can form a salt with another ion of opposite charge. Carbonate, phosphate, sulfate, nitrate, acetate, and other alkanoate salts all illustrate this phenomenon.
No. Not only is it not true, but it it were, there would be no polyatomic ions!
Nitrate (NO3^-), because the Hydroxide ion also has a negative one charge (OH^-)
The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a polyatomic ion is equal to the overall charge of the ion.
Anions and cations are ions of a single atom of a single element (i.e. Lithium+1, Fluorine-1, etc.). Polyatomic ions are charged particles composed of multiple atoms of different elements (i.e. Nitrate (NO3)-1, Ammonium (NH4)+1, etc.).
