No. H2 is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded.
An arrangement of bonded atoms.
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.
A polyatomic ion. For example, ammonium, chemical formula (NH4) with a 1+ electrical overall charge.
The same atoms bonded together are elements. Different atoms bonded together are compounds. Oxygen gas, O2, is an element composed of molecules of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded. Water, H2O is a molecular compound composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms covalently bonded. Common table salt, NaCl, is an ionic compound composed of sodium and chloride ions ionically bonded.
comOxygen, carbon, and nitrogen are bonded to hydrogen to make the polyatomic anions that are essential components of living systems
HCllO4 Covalently bonded, atom to atom. Hydrogen is covalently bonded to the internally covalently bonded polyatomic ion perchlorate.
NO3 is a covalently bonded polyatomic ion.
No, it is a molecules composed of a nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms.
No. H2 is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded.
Yes, it is called a hydrogen molecule. It is a molecule because it is composed of two hydrogen atoms chemically bonded, which has the formula H2.
Ionic compounds are often composed of a metal and a nonmetal chemically bonded by an ionic bond. Ionic compounds can also be composed of polyatomic ions, which are molecules that have either gained or lost one or more electrons. Sodium chloride, NaCl, is an ionic compound composed of the metal sodium and the nonmetal chlorine. Ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3 is an ionic compound composed of the polyatomic ammonium ion, NH4+ and the polyatomic nitrate ion, NO3-.
The anion with the formula NO3-1 is a covalently bonded polyatomic ion.
A binary compound is a chemical compound composed of only two elements but a polaytomic compound is a compound made up of a polyatomic ion (two or more atoms chemically bonded together).
An arrangement of bonded atoms.
Yes, it does. It is composed of 2 Hydrogen ions covalently bonded (bent shape) to one Oxygen ion. Since they are covalently bonded, it is a molecule.
An ion is a charged particle. A polyatomic ion is a group of covalently bonded atoms that, as a whole, have a charge.
