What is the chemical formula for ammonium nitate?
The formula for ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3. Both the cations and the anions in this compound are polyatomic.
What is polyatomic ion in chloric acid?
The definition of a polyatomic ion is an ion made up of multiple atoms. Because Cl- is only one atom of chlorine it is not polyatomic.
The chemical formula of a compound does not indicate?
The chemical formula of a compound does not indicate the way that elements are joined in the compound. Chemical formulas tell you the identity of the elements in the compound and the relative proportions of the elements.
What you called Na2BeO2?
Na2BeO2 is the chemical formula for "sodium beryllate", a salt with sodium cations and polyatomic beryllate anions.
What is the formula for the polyatomic ion in Ag2CO3?
The polyatomic ion is a carbonate ion, with formula CO3-2.
How should more than one polyatomic ion indicate in a chemical formula?
More than one polyatomic ion should be indicated in a chemical formula by putting parentheses around the atoms in the ions and then adding a subscript.
What do parentheses around a group of atoms in a chemical formula indicate?
Something like (C10H8O4)n? (This is the formula for the plastic a Coke bottle is made of.) It means there are multiple instances of whatever group is inside the parentheses.
Formula for the polyatomic ion ammonium?
The chemical formula of ammonium is (NH4)+.
What does a subscript following a set of parenthesis in a chemical formula indicate?
The number of units of the polyatomic ions with formulas contained within the parentheses that are present in a formula unit.
What is the chemical formula of the polyatomic ion nitrite?
Nitrite (NO2)
How should more than one polyatomic ion be indicated a chemical formula?
More than one polyatomic ion should be indicated in a chemical formula by putting parentheses around the atoms in the ions and then adding a subscript.
What is the chemical formula for ammonium nitate?
The formula for ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3. Both the cations and the anions in this compound are polyatomic.
A charged group of covalently bonded atoms is known as?
A polyatomic ion. For example, ammonium, chemical formula (NH4) with a 1+ electrical overall charge.
What is polyatomic ion in chloric acid?
The definition of a polyatomic ion is an ion made up of multiple atoms. Because Cl- is only one atom of chlorine it is not polyatomic.
The chemical formula of a compound does not indicate?
The chemical formula of a compound does not indicate the way that elements are joined in the compound. Chemical formulas tell you the identity of the elements in the compound and the relative proportions of the elements.
How do you know if something is polyatomic?
In principle, only by comparing the chemical formula for the compound with the formulas of ions known to be polyatomic to determine whether the sequence of letters and subscript numbers (if any) in any part of the chemical formula corresponds to the sequence of letters and subscript numbers in the formula of a know polyatomic ion.
What you called Na2BeO2?
Na2BeO2 is the chemical formula for "sodium beryllate", a salt with sodium cations and polyatomic beryllate anions.
