Plyatomic ions are compound bonds of metal.
Therefore, they are metals
It is true of binary ionic compounds but not necessarily of compounds containing polyatomic ions.
No, a base is a substance that raises pH when added to water. While some bases do indeed release metal and nonmetal ions, many do not, and many that release metal/nonmetal ions are not bases.
Yes, I believe it is! It looks like Potassium nitrite. An ionic compound is basically one of these four forms: 1) a metal+ a nonmetal 2) a metal+ a polyatomic anion 3) a polyatomic cation+ a nonmetal 4) 2 polyatomic ions (of opp. charges) Hope this helps! :D
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-.
An ionic compound generally forms from a metal and a nonmetal. The nonmetal oxidizes the metal, forming a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. They ions are held together by the electrical attraction. Ions often bond in latticed structures to form crystals.
Salts are made of metal ions and nonmetal ions.

I'm trying to find the exact answer myself, but I'm almost positive it's because polyatomic ions are not the same as Ionic compounds. An ionic compound consists of a metal and a nonmetal, whereas a polyatomic ion is usually two nonmetals (anions) or cation NH+. Therefore they are not ionically bonded. They're only sharing so, polyatomic ions are all covalently bonded. I hope that helps:)
Neither. Hydroxide is a polyatomic ion, not an element or even a substance. Only elements can be regarded as metal or nonmetals.
Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.
No, this molecule is not ionic. It is composed of all non metal atoms. In order to be ionic, the compound should consist of the following combinations: metal + nonmetal, or metal + polyatomic ion, or 2 polyatomic ions together.
No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
