Nitrite ion
Nitrite is a polyatomic ion with an overall charge of -1. The formula for nitrite is NO2-.
In even moderately strong acid conditions in aqueous solution, a polyatomic phosphate ion with a charge of -3 will add an hydrogen ion with a charge of +1 to form a polyatomic acid phosphate anion with a charge of -2. In equation form, PO4-3 + H+1 -> HPO4-2.
It is called Selenite; as a polyatomic ion, this compound is an exception to standard molecular compound naming rules. NOTE: It has a combined electrostatic charge of 2-
The formula for the compound between Lithium and Sulfur is Li2S because Lithium has a +1 charge while Sulfur has a -2. So for it to be stable, there needs to be two Lithium atoms attached to one Sulfer.
SO4-2The sulfate ion is a polyatomic ion made up of one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms, that exists only if it can gain 2 electrons (from some metal cation or cations). It has a charge of -2. Note that this is the sulfate ion and not the sulfiteion.
The formula for the ionic compound formed between barium and nitrate is Ba(NO3)2. Barium is a group 2 metal with a 2+ charge, and nitrate is a polyatomic ion with a 1- charge. The charges balance out in the compound.
The formula for one formula unit of the compound between NO2 and Be will be Be(NO2)2. Beryllium forms a +2 cation and nitrite (NO2-) is a polyatomic ion with a -1 charge, so two nitrite ions are needed to balance the charge of one beryllium ion in the compound.
Nitrite is a polyatomic ion with an overall charge of -1. The formula for nitrite is NO2-.
The Sulfate, SO4
A polyatomic ion is similar to a covalent compound in as much as the atoms in the polyatomic ion are covalently bound, and it is a compound, but it has a charge. Hence it is an ION.
The formula for francium permanganate is FrMnO4. Francium is a alkali metal with a charge of +1, while permanganate is a polyatomic ion with a charge of -1.
NO3 -
An ionic compound with polyatomic ions is formed through the attraction between positively charged metal ions and negatively charged polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions are covalently bonded groups of atoms that have an overall charge, making them act as a single charged unit in the formation of ionic compounds.
Polyatomic ions are named with their specific names, regardless of their overall charge. When naming an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion, the name of the cation is written first followed by the name of the anion (polyatomic ion).
No, oxide is not a polyatomic ion. It is a simple, monatomic ion composed of oxygen atom(s) with a -2 charge. Polyatomic ions are composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded together and carrying a net charge.
The formula for the compound formed between barium and nitrogen is Ba3N2, which is called barium nitride. Barium has a 2+ charge and nitrogen has a 3- charge, so the formula is derived from their charges balancing out to form a neutral compound.
To write the chemical formula of a compound with polyatomic ions, first determine the charge of each ion. Then, balance the charges by crisscrossing the numerical values of the charges to determine the subscripts of each ion in the formula. Finally, write the formula with the proper subscripts for each ion to balance the charges.
