What element do most of the polyatomic ions have in the formula?
Examples: oxygen, sulfur, carbon, phosphorus etc.
Which polyatomic ion has 4 oxygens?
The three most common such ions probably are sulfate, with the formula SO4-2, chromate, with the formula CrO4-1, and perchlorate, with the formula ClO4-1.
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.
Is most atoms have more electrons than proton?
No. Atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. When atoms gain or lose electrons they are called ions.
Is most atoms have more electrons than proton false or true?
False, all atoms have the same no of electrons and protons. Negative ions have more electrons. Positive ions have fewer electrons.
Are a vast majority of polyatomic ions cations?
No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
What element do most of the polyatomic ions have in the formula?
Examples: oxygen, sulfur, carbon, phosphorus etc.
What are the usual endings for the names of polyatomic ions?
The names of most polyatomic ions end in -ite or -ate.
Which polyatomic ion has 4 oxygens?
The three most common such ions probably are sulfate, with the formula SO4-2, chromate, with the formula CrO4-1, and perchlorate, with the formula ClO4-1.
What element do most polyatomic ions contain?
Oxygen
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.
Characteristic is shared by most simple polyatomic ions?
They are anions
What characteristics is shared by most simple polyatomic ions?
They are Anions.
Which atoms form ions most easily?
unstable atoms
Do Polyatomic ions always contain oxygen?
In most of the cases it is true but SCN- , Transition metals complex ions and some organic poly atomic ions do not contain oxygen.
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.
Polyatomic ions always carry a positive charge?
False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.
