Non metals
-ate and -ite mean they have oxygen.
-ate has one more than ite.
-ide doesn't have any oxygen
Metals
Just characterise between how many electrons are lost. Names stay the same but if there are more than one you say coppper1 ,copper11 etc.
To find a compoun'ds symbol you use the criss cross method.

∙ 10y agoThe name of the salt is composed from the name of the cation and the name of the anion (ended in -ate).
Example: Na2SO4 is sodium sulfate.
For more complex examples it is necessary to read Nomenclature in inorganic chemistry edited by IUPAC.

Do salts have covalent bonds?
Salts are ionic. If they contain polyatomic ions,(e.g. NH4+ , SO42-.) There are covalent bonds inside these ions.
What is the polyatomic ion oxide?
The polyatomic ion for oxide what is it?
Is P4 S8 and O2 a polyatomic compound?
No, not compounds, they all are polyatomic elements
What type of compound is CaSO4. is it Monatomic ionic or polyatomic ionic or binary molecular or polyatomic covalent?
Polyatomic ionic.
How are polyatomic salts formed?
It depends on if the elements involved are metals or nonmetals.
How are polyatomic salts made?
When an oxyacid goes the process of ionization or neutralization. It produces salts and water.

Is sulfur hexafluoride an example of polyatomic?
polyatomic ion
What is the polyatomic ion oxide?
The polyatomic ion for oxide what is it?
Is NaCO3 a polyatomic ion?
Na2CO3 is a metal - polyatomic bond (Na)+1 = metal & (CO3)-2 polyatomic
Is P4 S8 and O2 a polyatomic compound?
No, not compounds, they all are polyatomic elements
What type of compound is CaSO4. is it Monatomic ionic or polyatomic ionic or binary molecular or polyatomic covalent?
Polyatomic ionic.
How are polyatomic salts formed?
It depends on if the elements involved are metals or nonmetals.
What is the polyatomic ions of ammonium?
The polyatomic ion for Ammonium is NH4+
What does polyatomic mean in chemistry?
Polyatomic means many atoms.
What are descriptions of a polyatomic ion?
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.
Are covalent bonds polyatomic?
Not necessarily, but all polyatomic bonds are covalent.
