The predominant ones are nitrates, carbonates, sulfates, silicates, aluminates, and phosphates. There are several variations of the latter three of these types.

In what forms to polyatomic ions ofter occur in nature?

Polyatomic ions often occur in nature as part of salts and minerals. These ions can combine with other ions to form compounds with distinct chemical and physical properties. Additionally, polyatomic ions can be found in biological molecules such as DNA and proteins.


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 element do most of the polyatomic ions have in the formula?

Examples: oxygen, sulfur, carbon, phosphorus etc.


Are a vast majority of polyatomic ions cations?

No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.


Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as what?

Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as polyatomic ions. These ions are composed of multiple atoms that are covalently bonded together, but have an overall charge due to the loss or gain of electrons. They can have a positive or negative charge depending on the number of electrons gained or lost.


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.


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.


Predominantly what type of bonding is within polyatomic ions?

Covalent bonding is predominantly within polyatomic ions.


How are polyatomic ions similar to their constituent ions?

They are not similar.


Which are polyatomic ion?

For example no3 or co3 are all polyatomic ions


Is k2so3 ionic?

Yes, K2SO3 is an ionic compound. It consists of potassium ions (K+) and sulfite ions (SO3^2-). Potassium is a metal that forms cations, while sulfite is a polyatomic ion that forms anions.


What leads to an ionic compound with polyatomic ions?

An ionic compound with polyatomic ions is formed through the attraction between positively charged metal ions and negatively charged polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions are covalently bonded groups of atoms that have an overall charge, making them act as a single charged unit in the formation of ionic compounds.
