If an element with a high electron affinity (like oxygen) is part of a polyatomis molecule. one or more of the missing valence e' can sometimes be filled by a nearby extra e' instead of sharing elctrons with other atoms:)

Predominantly what type of bonding is within polyatomic ions?

Covalent bonding is predominantly within polyatomic ions.


What two types of bonds are there in a polyatomic ion?

Polyatomic ions can have both ionic and covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between the positively and negatively charged ions within the polyatomic ion, while covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons between the atoms within the polyatomic ion.


Particles formed from covalent bonding is?

They are molecules.No they are generally called molecules. However there are polyatomic ions that are charged molecules, such as SO42-


The bonds within polyatomic ions are predominantly?

Ionic bonds. These bonds are formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of charged particles known as ions within the polyatomic ion. The attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions holds the polyatomic ion together.


Is Ag2O ionic covalent or polyatomic?

Na2O is ionic and consists of Na+ and O2- ions.


How does polyatomic ions show covalent and ionic bonding?

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.


What kind of chemical bond forms diatomic atoms and polyatomic ions?

Covalent bonds typically form between diatomic atoms and in polyatomic ions. In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing allows atoms to fill their outer electron shells and become more stable.


Is K2SO4 ionic covalent or polyatomic?

K2SO4 is an ionic compound composed of potassium ions (K+) and sulfate ions (SO4^2-).


What kind of bond can a polyatomic ion form in a compound?

"The atoms in polyatomic ions such as hydroxide ion, ammonium ion and sulfate ion, are held together by covalent bonds" Link: http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/sciences/chemistry/inorganicchemistry/Informationbonding/CovalentBond/CovalentBond.htm


Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain this type if ion?

Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain polyatomic ions. These ions consist of more than one atom covalently bonded together and carry a net charge, making them act as single units in ionic compounds.


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.


How are ions and polyatomic ion different?

Ions are charged particles formed by gaining or losing electrons, while polyatomic ions are charged groups of atoms that remain together and carry a net charge. Polyatomic ions contain multiple atoms bonded together, whereas ions can be a single atom or a group of atoms.
