The bonds within polyatomic ions are predominantly?

Ionic bonds. These bonds are formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of charged particles known as ions within the polyatomic ion. The attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions holds the polyatomic ion together.


How does polyatomic ions show covalent and ionic bonding?

A polyatomic ion is charged and will form ionic bonds; for example, the sulfate ion SO42- forms many compounds, such as sodium sulfate. The bonds holding polyatomic ions together are covalent.


What type of bonding occurs between the polyatomic ion and another ion?

Ionic bonding occurs between a polyatomic ion and another ion. This type of bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other.


What two types of bonds are there in 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.


Why are compounds with polyatomic ions considered to be both ionic and covalent?

It is possible for a compound to possess both ionic and covalent bonding. a. If one of the ions is polyatomic then there will be covalent bonding within it. b. When a polyatomic ion combines with another ion, then there is an ionic bond


Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of what?

Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.


Is K2S04 ionic covalent or polyatomic?

K2SO4 is an ionic compound. It is formed by the ionic bonding between potassium ions (K+) and sulfate ions (SO4^2-).


Are a vast majority of polyatomic ions cations?

No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.


Particles formed from covalent bonding is?

They are molecules.No they are generally called molecules. However there are polyatomic ions that are charged molecules, such as SO42-


Are polyatomic ions positively charged?

Most polyatomic ions have a negative charge. There are only 2 positive polyatomic ions; Mercury(I) ion and Ammonium ion. False.


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.


How are polyatomic ions similar to their constituent ions?

They are not similar.
