Phosphite is a name that has been applied to both PO32- (recent trend) and HPO32- (historically).
Note that the HPO32- is now recommended to be called hydrogen phosphite anion or sometimes the phophonate anion.
HPO32-is different from hydrogen carbonate HCO3- where the H is bonded to O, as it contains a H-P bond and that H does not react with base.

Is NO3 NH4 and Co polyatomic ions?
NO3- an NH4+ are polyatomic ions.Co can be a neutral atom or a number of monatomicions.
Do ions consist of more than one atom?
Yes; polyatomic ions, such as nitrate, ammonium, etc.
What is the symbol for sulfite?
The polyatomic ion sulfite = SO3-2
What is a poly atomic atom?
Nothing. The term "polyatomic atom" would mean an atom made up of two or more atoms and so is self-contradictory. A polyatomic ion is a charge particle composed of multiple atoms covalently bonded together in much the same way as they are in molecules.
What is polyatomic anion?
IT is a negatively charged ion consisting of more than one atom
What is the chemical formula for gold phosphite?
Well, we know that the polyatomic ion phosphate has the formula PO4^3- The suffix "ite" tells us that we take one oxygen atom. So phosphite is PO3^3- Since the charge of phosphite is negative three, we need 3 gold ions to create a neutral ionic compound. So, the chemical formula for gold phosphite is Au3PO3
Is ph3 polyatomic ion?
No, it's a colorless flammable gas called phosphine. PO3, however, is a polyatomic ion, and its name is phosphite.
Example of polyatomic ions?
Carbonate sulphate sulphite phosphate phosphite tetraphenylborate hexafluorophosphate
How do you measure polyatomic atoms?
An atom is the smallest unit. Anything polyatomic is not an atom.
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.
What is the polyatomic ion Li?
Li is the symbol for Lithium it is an element not a polyatomic ion
Which type of ions are charged substances that contains more than atom?
polyatomic ion
How are the atoms in a polyatomic atom joined?
by kyleees faceee.
How are polyatomic ions usually charged?
It depends but most are negative, e.g. nitrite, sulfate, nitrate, sulfite, chlorite, phosphate, phosphite, permanganate, chromate, dichromate etc. There are however, polyatomic ions that are positively charged.
What is the chemical name for PO2 3-?
PO2 is a polyatomic ion with the name hypophosphite. Its charge is -3. It has 2 less oxygen atoms than phosphate, the "parent" polyatomic, hence the -ite suffix and the hypo- prefix.
What is polyatomic ion in chloric acid?
The definition of a polyatomic ion is an ion made up of multiple atoms. Because Cl- is only one atom of chlorine it is not polyatomic.
How do the differences in the polyatomic ions PO33 and PO43 help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?
As a convention the first is called the ion phosphite and second phosphate.
