Ions of elements taken off of the Periodic Table that have a negative charge. In other words, ions that contain only one element. For example, the Chloride Ion (Cl-1) is the ion of Chlorine. Naming the ion goes like this:
Chlorine-"ine"=chlor+"ide"=chloride. In other words, drop the ending of the name of the element and add "ide".

Simplier said: they are negative, single ions of non-metals
Examples:
Cl- chloride, S2- sulfide, N3- nitride, C4- carbide, and of course last but not least: oxide with O2-.

∙ 14y agoAnions derived from acids ending in -ic (and without the prefix hydro-) are given the suffix -ate.
For example, the sulfate anion in derived from sulfuric acid.
However, hydrochloric acid produces the chloride anion.

What are the usual endings for the names of polyatomic ions?
The names of most polyatomic ions end in -ite or -ate.
Is a hydroxide ion positive charge?
No. The hydroxide ion has a negative charge as do all ions ending in -ide, -ite, or -ate.
What is the significance of suffix 'ite' in nitrite and 'ate' in nitrate ions?
The "ite" vs. "ate" in ions refers to the number of oxygens in the ion. ex: Nitrate = NO3- Nitrite = NO2- It follows the system of: per....ate (add one oxygen to ate) ate (3 or 4 oxygens, depending on the ion, this is usually the "base") ite (subtract one oxygen from ate) hypo....ite (subract two oxygens from ate
In ionic compounds the anion name is ended with what ending?
If anion is a single atom then ending is 'ide' if it is complex and also contains oxygen then with highest no of oxygen possible, ending is 'ate' otherwise is 'ite'
Naming binary and oxyacids?
Binary and Oxyacids are named by identifying the number of hydrogen Ions found in the chemical formula.
What are the usual endings for the names of polyatomic ions?
The names of most polyatomic ions end in -ite or -ate.
What do all of the polyatomic ions with the suffix -ate have in common?
Polyatomic ions ending in -ate in common form contain oxygen.
What makes an ion charged?
There is no single ion that leads to the endings -ate or -ide, though ions with such ions can be assumed to be negative ions (anions). A few examples are given below. Monatomic anions have names ending in -ide: Hydride: H- Nitride: N3- Oxide: O2- Sulfide: S2- Chloride: Cl2- A few polyatomic ions have names ending in -ide as well Peroxide: O22- Hydroxide: OH- Cyanide; CN- Ions with names ending in -ate are polyatomic anions that contain the maximum oxygen for that atom. The prefix per- indicates an even higher number of oxygen atoms and/or a higher oxidation state: Carbonate: CO32- Acetate: C2H3O2- Nitrate: NO3- Sulfate: SO42- Cyanate: OCN- Chlorate: ClO3- Perchlorate: ClO4- A few ions ending in -ate, however, do not contain oxygen Thiocyanate: SCN- Hexafluorosilicate: SiF62- Tetrafluoroborate: BF4-
What are the usual ending for the names of polyatomic ion?
ite or ate
Is bicarbonate considered a cation or anion?
Bicarbonate is an anion. Ions ending in -ate, -ite, or -ide are anions.
Is a hydroxide ion positive charge?
No. The hydroxide ion has a negative charge as do all ions ending in -ide, -ite, or -ate.
If the name of a poly atomic ion ends in 'ate' what letters will be the formed from it end?
It will end in -ic acid. For example perchlorate --> perchloric acid

6 letter word ending in ate?
Gyrate
What type of food do people in Georgia eat today?
they basically ate the same things we do here in California just with different names
What does an -ite or -ate ending in a polyatomic ion mean?
The -ite or -ate ending in a polyatomic ion is simply an indication of the amount of oxygen atoms present. The -are ending is used in the base form. If the polyatomic ion has one less oxygen atom than the -ate form, the -ite form applies.
