An atom is the smallest unit. Anything polyatomic is not an atom.
The atoms in a polyatomic ion are joined by covalent bonds, which involve the sharing of electrons between the atoms to create a stable structure. The overall charge of the polyatomic ion is determined by the distribution of electrons within the molecule.
Nothing. The term "polyatomic atom" would mean an atom made up of two or more atoms and so is self-contradictory. A polyatomic ion is a charge particle composed of multiple atoms covalently bonded together in much the same way as they are in molecules.
Carbon dioxide is not a polyatomic ion. It is a molecule composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Polyatomic ions are charged molecules made up of multiple atoms.
A molecule of CaCO3 contains 5 atoms: 1 calcium atom, 1 carbon atom, and 3 oxygen atoms.
Yes, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is an example of a polyatomic molecule because it consists of more than two atoms bonded together (one sulfur atom and six fluorine atoms).
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 in chloric acid is the chlorate ion, which has a chemical formula of ClO3-. It consists of one chlorine atom bonded to three oxygen atoms. Chloric acid is derived from this chlorate ion in the form of HClO3.
No, that is just plain old covalently bonded sulfur dioxide.
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.
No, ions are charged particles that can be either single atoms or groups of atoms. When an ion consists of a single atom, it is called a monatomic ion, such as Na+ or Cl-. When an ion consists of a group of atoms bonded together, it is called a polyatomic ion, such as SO4^2- or NH4+.
Yes, it consists of 4 oxygen atoms bonded to 1 sulfur atom. The whole ion has a 2- charge.
