Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as what?

Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as polyatomic ions. These ions are composed of multiple atoms that are covalently bonded together, but have an overall charge due to the loss or gain of electrons. They can have a positive or negative charge depending on the number of electrons gained or lost.


Can nitrous oxide form polyatomic ions?

No, nitrous oxide (N2O) does not form polyatomic ions. Nitrous oxide exists as individual molecules composed of two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and it does not gain or lose electrons to form polyatomic ions.

What are the polyatomic ions?

polyatomic ions are those ions which carry more than one atom,we can say that a group of atoms having single charge( which may be positive or negative) are polyatomic ions.


Can polyatomic ion form Lewis structures?

Yes, polyatomic ions can form Lewis structures. A Lewis structure shows how valence electrons are arranged in a molecule or ion by representing bonds and lone pairs of electrons. The same rules for determining octet/duet stability apply to polyatomic ions as to neutral molecules.
