SO4-2
The 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 charge on SO4, sulfate, is 2-
Yes, it is a polyatomic ion since the ion contains two different atoms (or atoms of 2 different elements).
Sulfite
Make sure to know SO3(subscript) is a compound and SO3(subscript) -2 charge is a polyatomic ion.
SO3 is not a polyatomic ion, its a covalent compound called sulfur trioxide. SO32- is a polyatomic ion called sulfite.
is the Sulfate Ion.
Sulfate
2-
Yes. Mg2+ is a monatomic ion, but SO42- is a polyatomic ion composed of two elements, sulfur and oxygen.
Poly means many. So a polyatomic ion is an ion made up of more than one atom. Simple examples come from common acids and alkalis. Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) forms the ions H+ (monoatomic) and SO42- (polyatomic). Nitric acid gives the ion NO3-. Hydroxides give us the OH- ion. Carbonates give us the CO3 2- ion. Phosphates give us the PO4 3- ion So there are 5. There are others out there too!
The polyatomic ion name for NaClO is Sodium Hypochlorite
Polyatomic ion in the compound Na2O2 is known as peroxide. Such polyatomic ion contains two or more atoms covalently bonded.
Sulfite
The sulfate ion (SO42-) is the polyatomic ion
The polyatomic ion sulfite = SO3-2
Yes. Mg2+ is a monatomic ion, but SO42- is a polyatomic ion composed of two elements, sulfur and oxygen.
A group of covalently bonded atoms that acts together as one charged atom is called a polyatomic ion. It is also known as molecular ion.
A polyatomic ion is one that contains more than one atom. Many common anions are polyatomic, e.g. NO3-, SO42-, CO32-, PO43- Cations may be polyatomic, e.g NH4+, Hg22+

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.

The word prefix poly- means many. So with the word polyatomic you have multiple atom types. So a polyatomic ion is an ion with multiple types of atoms in it. A polyatomic ion is composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered as acting as a single unit in the context of acid and base chemistry or in the formation of salts.
A polyatomic ion is held together by covalent bonds between atoms. They can be either positive or negative. For example, the ammonium ion, NH4+, has a positive charge, and the sulfate ion, SO42-, has a negative charge.
It is SO (subscript) 4 (superscript)2- It can be found on R54 of Prentice Hall Chemistry.
This is the ion acetate.
