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.
The charge on the nitrite ion (NO2-) is -1, while the charge on the chlorite ion (ClO2-) is also -1.
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"
Nitrate (NO3^-), because the Hydroxide ion also has a negative one charge (OH^-)
Except chloride, all others are polyatomic ions.
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
It depends but most are negative, e.g. nitrite, sulfate, nitrate, sulfite, chlorite, phosphate, phosphite, permanganate, chromate, dichromate etc. There are however, polyatomic ions that are positively charged.
The charge on the nitrite ion (NO2-) is -1, while the charge on the chlorite ion (ClO2-) is also -1.
No, chlorite ions are not made of molecules; they are polyatomic ions consisting of one chlorine atom and three oxygen atoms with an overall charge of -1.
Nitrate Cyanide Hydroxide Acetate
Polyatomic ions such as sulfate (SO4^2-), nitrate (NO3-), and phosphate (PO4^3-) can form ionic bonds with other ions to create compounds. These polyatomic ions have a charge that allows them to bond with ions of opposite charge through electrostatic attraction.
The ammonium ion, NH4+, and the nitrate ion, NO3-.
Polyatomic ions.
The charge of nitrate ions is -1.
An ionized molecule. Common examples are Sulphate ions, Nitrate ions and Phosphate ions.
polyatomic ions
The chlorite ion is a negatively charged polyatomic ion with the formula ClO2-. It contains one chlorine atom and two oxygen atoms. Chlorite ions are commonly found in disinfectants and bleaching agents.
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.
