A binary compound is a chemical compound made up solely of 2 elements, for example P2O5, Na2O KCl. (The bonding is not relevant- it could be covalent or ionic.)
A polyatomic ion is a cation or anion that contains more than one atom. Most contain 2 different elements. For example
Polyatomic ion in the compound Na2O2 is known as peroxide. Such polyatomic ion contains two or more atoms covalently bonded.
SO4-2The sulfate ion is a polyatomic ion made up of one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms, that exists only if it can gain 2 electrons (from some metal cation or cations). It has a charge of -2. Note that this is the sulfate ion and not the sulfiteion.
That compound is called rubidium phosphate.
No, NaCO3 is not a polyatomic ion. NaCO3 is the formula for sodium carbonate, which is a compound composed of sodium ions (Na+) and carbonate ions (CO3 2-). The carbonate ion (CO3 2-) is a polyatomic ion.
In the compound copper sulfate CuSO4, the SO4 (sulfate) part is a covalently bonded polyatomic ion. The Cu (copper) part is not a polyatomic ion; it is an individual copper atom.
Na2Cr2O7 is an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion. The polyatomic ion present in this compound is the chromate ion (Cr2O7)^2-.
A binary compound is made up of two different elements bonded together, while a polyatomic compound is composed of three or more atoms covalently bonded together as a single ion or molecule. Binary compounds have a simpler structure compared to polyatomic compounds which have more complex structures due to the presence of multiple atoms.
KOH is an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion. The hydroxide ion (OH-) is a polyatomic ion that is composed of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom.
Polyatomic ion in the compound Na2O2 is known as peroxide. Such polyatomic ion contains two or more atoms covalently bonded.
SO4
HCO3- is the polyatomic ion with which sodium bonds. It is the bicarbonate ion.
An example of a compound composed of a metal and a polyatomic ion is magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). In this compound, magnesium is the metal, and the sulfate ion (SO4) is the polyatomic ion.
The charge of the polyatomic ion is occasionally included in the chemical formula for a compound containing it. This charge is never used in a binary ionic compound because binary compounds involve only two elements with differing charges, while polyatomic ions already contain multiple elements and an overall charge.
One example of a compound that includes a polyatomic ion containing oxygen is sodium nitrate (NaNO3). This compound contains the nitrate ion (NO3-) which is a polyatomic ion that includes oxygen.
Polyatomic ions are named with their specific names, regardless of their overall charge. When naming an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion, the name of the cation is written first followed by the name of the anion (polyatomic ion).
The polyatomic ion is the ammonium ion, NH4^+
The sulfate ion (SO42-) is the polyatomic ion
