it is named for the number of oxygen atoms in the ion and/or oxidation state of the atom to which the oxygen is bonded.
no
because its named that way
Hungary was named for the Huns.
August is named for Augustus Caesar, and July is named for Gaius Julius Caesar
named after Ferdinand Magellan
No, the name of an oxyanion is not based on the amount of a metal in the ion. The name of an oxyanion is determined by the oxidation state of the element and the number of oxygen atoms in the ion. The metal in the ion may play a role in determining the charge or oxidation state of the element, but it does not directly determine the name of the oxyanion.
An oxyanion is in the form of AxOy, where A is a chemical or polyatomic ion, and O is an oxygen.
The oxyanion of phosphoric acid is called phosphate.
Formula: ClO-
The symbol for the oxyanion perchlorate ion is ClO4-.
The oxyanion of chlorine that contains the most oxygen atoms is perchlorate (ClO4-).
Chlorite Ion
Chlorate ion
An oxyanion is named based on the oxidation state of the element that is bound to the oxygen atoms in the ion. The number of oxygen atoms is usually indicated by suffixes such as "-ate" for the most common form or "-ite" for a lower oxidation state. The naming conventions help to differentiate between oxyanions with different numbers of oxygen atoms.
Formula: ClO-
This anion is called metavanadate.
-2 = Chlorite -1 = hypochlorite -3 = chlorate -4 = perchlorate
