Formula: ClO-
IO^- is named as hypoiodite anion. It is unstable and disproportionates to I^- & IO^3-
Formula: ClO4-
The cation would be either sodium, magnesium or aluminium. The only oxyanion with 26 electrons is the hypochlorite ion. So the compound is sodium/magnesium/aluminium hypochlorite.
ClO2^- is chlorite anion Do not confuse with ClO3^- is chlorate anion Cl^- is chloride anion.
The cyanide ion, CN-1, is not an oxyanion: As its formula shows, it does not contain any oxygen!
Hypochlorite (an)ion.
An oxyanion is a polyatomic ion composed of an element, usually a nonmetal, bonded to one or more oxygen atoms. It's name is based on the number of oxygen atoms in the ion.
ClO-1
ClO-
An oxyanion is in the form of AxOy, where A is a chemical or polyatomic ion, and O is an oxygen.
No. An oxyanion is a polyatomic negative ion that contains oxygen. Ammonium is a cation (positive ion) and does not contain oxygen.
