Nitrite ion
Nitrite is a polyatomic ion with an overall charge of -1. The formula for nitrite is NO2-.
In even moderately strong acid conditions in aqueous solution, a polyatomic phosphate ion with a charge of -3 will add an hydrogen ion with a charge of +1 to form a polyatomic acid phosphate anion with a charge of -2. In equation form, PO4-3 + H+1 -> HPO4-2.
It is called Selenite; as a polyatomic ion, this compound is an exception to standard molecular compound naming rules. NOTE: It has a combined electrostatic charge of 2-
The formula for the compound between Lithium and Sulfur is Li2S because Lithium has a +1 charge while Sulfur has a -2. So for it to be stable, there needs to be two Lithium atoms attached to one Sulfer.
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.
Nitrite is a polyatomic ion with an overall charge of -1. The formula for nitrite is NO2-.
A polyatomic ion is similar to a covalent compound in as much as the atoms in the polyatomic ion are covalently bound, and it is a compound, but it has a charge. Hence it is an ION.
Ba(NO3)2. Barium forms divalent cations, and the nitrate polyatomic anion has only one negative charge.
No, oxide is just an oxygen ion. The formula is just O(-2 charge), hence not a polyatomic ion. Hydoxide on the other hand is a polyatomic ion, formula being OH(-1 charge)
Ionic bonds and also covalent bonds
The chemical formula K2CO3 is for potassium carbonate.
A polyatomic ion. For example, ammonium, chemical formula (NH4) with a 1+ electrical overall charge.
Non-binary or polyatomic compounds are covalently bonded atoms with a net charge.
By definition, a compound is always neutral. If the polyatomic chemical entity has a charge, it is no longer a compound, but is now a polyatomic ion. Ionic compounds and molecular compounds are also neutral in charge. The word "ionic" is just referring to the type of chemical bond in the molecule.
Yes, it is correct. Calcium has a +2 charge, and the hydroxide polyatomic ion has a -1 charge.
In any neutral compound, this number must be zero.
Hydroxide is not a molecule but a polyatomic ion with a -1 charge. it has the formula OH- it is very basic.
