There are a zillion. Simply put, a polyatomic ion is an ion with two or more atoms in it. (Polyatomic is "multi" atom.) The number "zillion" isn't specific, of course, but we might be able to use it here in the science section to make a point. The phosphate group, PO4-2, and the hydroxyl group, OH-, are just two of many, many polyatomic ions. A link can be found below to the Wikipedia article on polyatomic ions. You'll find a looong list of them there. Why not check it out?
What else can I help you with?
What substances do not contain a polyatomic ion?
Elements do not contain polyatomic ions. Examples of substances that do not contain polyatomic ions include water (H2O), sodium chloride (NaCl), and oxygen gas (O2).
What polyatomic ions bond with other ions to form an ionic bond?
Polyatomic ions such as sulfate (SO4^2-), nitrate (NO3-), and phosphate (PO4^3-) can form ionic bonds with other ions to create compounds. These polyatomic ions have a charge that allows them to bond with ions of opposite charge through electrostatic attraction.
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.
Which type of ions are charged substances that contains more than atom?
Polyatomic ions are charged substances that contain more than one atom. These ions are formed when a group of atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration. Examples include sulfate (SO4^2-) and ammonium (NH4^+).
Tightly-bound group of atoms that behaves as a unit and carries a net charge?
An ionized molecule. Common examples are Sulphate ions, Nitrate ions and Phosphate ions.
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 substances do not contain a polyatomic ion?
Elements do not contain polyatomic ions. Examples of substances that do not contain polyatomic ions include water (H2O), sodium chloride (NaCl), and oxygen gas (O2).
What polyatomic ions bond with other ions to form an ionic bond?
Polyatomic ions such as sulfate (SO4^2-), nitrate (NO3-), and phosphate (PO4^3-) can form ionic bonds with other ions to create compounds. These polyatomic ions have a charge that allows them to bond with ions of opposite charge through electrostatic attraction.
Ions that are made up of more than one atom are examples of?
"Polyatomic ions", like carbonate (CO32-) and ammonium (NH4+)
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 polyatomic ions?
polyatomic ions are those ions which carry more than one atom,we can say that a group of atoms having single charge( which may be positive or negative) are polyatomic ions.
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.
Which type of ions are charged substances that contains more than atom?
Polyatomic ions are charged substances that contain more than one atom. These ions are formed when a group of atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration. Examples include sulfate (SO4^2-) and ammonium (NH4^+).
Predominantly what type of bonding is within polyatomic ions?
Covalent bonding is predominantly within polyatomic ions.
Tightly-bound group of atoms that behaves as a unit and carries a net charge?
An ionized molecule. Common examples are Sulphate ions, Nitrate ions and Phosphate ions.
How are polyatomic ions similar to their constituent ions?
They are not similar.
