They are both ions and both can form an ionic compound
For example no3 or co3 are all polyatomic ions
Yes. Mg2+ is a monatomic ion, but SO42- is a polyatomic ion composed of two elements, sulfur and oxygen.
They are not similar.
Polyatomic ions are named with their specific names, regardless of their overall charge. When naming an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion, the name of the cation is written first followed by the name of the anion (polyatomic ion).
If the compound contains a polyatomic ion, simply name the ion.
No, NaCO3 is not a polyatomic ion. NaCO3 is the formula for sodium carbonate, which is a compound composed of sodium ions (Na+) and carbonate ions (CO3 2-). The carbonate ion (CO3 2-) is a polyatomic ion.
Polyatomic ions can have both ionic and covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between the positively and negatively charged ions within the polyatomic ion, while covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons between the atoms within the polyatomic ion.
NH4+ ion is ammonium ion
One easy way to remember polyatomic ions is to create flashcards with the ion's name, formula, and charge, and review them regularly. Additionally, grouping ions with similar charges or structures can help in memorization.
The ammonium ion, NH4+, and the nitrate ion, NO3-.
The hydroxide ion (OH⁻) is a polyatomic ion itself, consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom. Therefore, it can be said that there is one polyatomic ion in OH. Polyatomic ions are characterized by containing multiple atoms, and in this case, OH qualifies as such.
The polyatomic ion of ammonium is NH4+. It is formed when a hydrogen ion (H+) is added to ammonia (NH3) to make it positively charged.
