Chemical name of (negative) mono-atomic anions ends with -ide, eg. chloride (Cl-), sulfide (S2-), oxide.
Chemical name of (negative) poly-atomic anions ends with -ate or -ite for their higher and lower oxidation state respectively, eg sulfate and sulfite. The only one polyatomic ending on -ide is hydroxide OH-.
Positive mono-atomic ions are metal ions and they will have the name of the corresponding metallic element, only when two different oxidation states are possible their chemical names will end on -ic or -ous (for high and low oxidation states respectively), eg. ferric (Fe3+) and ferrous (Fe2+)
The only positive poly-atomic ion I can think of now is ammonium ion for NH4+.

What is a polyatomic ion and name five common polyatomic ions?
Poly means many. So a polyatomic ion is an ion made up of more than one atom. Simple examples come from common acids and alkalis. Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) forms the ions H+ (monoatomic) and SO42- (polyatomic). Nitric acid gives the ion NO3-. Hydroxides give us the OH- ion. Carbonates give us the CO3 2- ion. Phosphates give us the PO4 3- ion So there are 5. There are others out there too!
What is the name of a polyatomic ion for NA CLO?
The polyatomic ion name for NaClO is Sodium Hypochlorite
What is compound name for ClO?
ClO- isHypochlorite.ClO2- is Chlorite.ClO3- is Chlorate.ClO4- is Perchlorate.It's good to memorize all four of those if you are having a chemistry test on polyatomic ions.(Edited, remember the one with more oxygen is always prefixed with "-per")
What is the chemical formula name for HClO2?
HClO is an acid, in aqueous state, involving a polyatomic ion. You MUST recognize the polyatomic ion in the formula. There is no other way to figure out the name. If you don't recognize the polyatomic, then you're sunk without a trace. The polyatomic ion is ClO¯ and its name is hypochlorite. Any time you see the "ite" suffix, you change it to "ous" and add the word acid. The name of HClO is hypochlorous acid.
