The nitrate ion is NO3- and the minus sign superscripted means it has a -1 charge. The chlorite ion is ClO2- and the minus sign superscripted means it, too, has a -1 charge.

What is the charge on the polyatomic ions nitrite and chlorite?

The charge on the nitrite ion (NO2-) is -1, while the charge on the chlorite ion (ClO2-) is also -1.


What is the difference between a monatomic ion and a polyatomic ion?

A monoatomic ion has only one atom examples are chloride, Cl-, fluoride, F-, sodium Na+ A polyatomic ion has more than one, e.g sulfate SO42-, nitrate, NO3-, mercurous, Hg22+ Poly is from the Greek and means "many"


Which of the following polyatomic ions have the same charge as the hydroxide ion?

Nitrate (NO3^-), because the Hydroxide ion also has a negative one charge (OH^-)


Which are polyatomic ions hydroxidechlorideammoniumand carbonate?

Except chloride, all others are polyatomic ions.


Which polyatomic ion forms a neutrak compound when combined with a group 1A monatomic ion in a 1 1 ratio?

Since Group 1A monatomic ions have a charge of 1+, only a polyatomic ion with a charge of 1- can combine to form a compound in which the monatomic ions and polyatomic ions are present in a 1 to 1 ratio. The following polyatomic ions with a charge of 1- can form a neutral compound when combined with a group of 1A monatomic ion in a 1 to 1 ratio.acetate - C2H3O2-bicarbonate (or hydrogen carbonate) - HCO3-bisulfate (or hydrogen sulfate) - HSO4-chlorate - ClO3-chlorite - ClO2-cyanate - OCN-cyanide - CN-dihydrogen phosphate - H2PO4-hydroxide - OH-nitrate - NO3-nitrite - NO2-perchlorate - ClO4-permanganate - MnO4-thiocyanate - SCN- Source: http://chemistry.about.com/od/chartstables/tp/common-polyatomic-ions.htm

What is the correct formula for barium chlorite?

The correct formula for barium chlorite is Ba(ClO₂)₂. This compound consists of one barium ion (Ba²⁺) and two chlorite ions (ClO₂⁻). The barium ion carries a +2 charge, while each chlorite ion carries a -1 charge, necessitating two chlorite ions to balance the charge of the barium ion.
