From what elements do the sulfates the their names?

Answer 1

Sulfates contain the sulfate ion SO42- the sulf- comes from the fact that sulfur is the central atom in this ion and distinguishes it from other oxygen containing ions.

the -ate part of the name shows that the sulfur in the ion is in its highest oxidation state.

Answer 2

Sulfates typically get their names from the elements sulfur and oxygen. Compounds with the suffix "-ate" typically are oxidized to the maximum extent. In this case, sulfur, which can make around four bonds, is fully oxidized by the four oxygen atoms that are bound to it.

Answer 3

Sulfates get their names from the element sulfur and, to a lesser degree, oxygen (hence the -ate).
