If the name of a compound ends in -ate, it indicates that the compound likely contains oxygen along with the central element. The -ate ending generally indicates a polyatomic anion or anion complex in the compound.
It will be an ide ite or ate ex: chlorIDE sulfITE carbonATE
When a compound contains three elements, including oxygen, it often ends with the suffix "-ate" or "-ite," depending on the oxidation state of the element combined with oxygen. For example, if the compound has a higher oxidation state, it typically ends in "-ate" (like sulfate), while a lower oxidation state will often end in "-ite" (like sulfite). These suffixes help indicate the presence of oxygen and the specific valence of the central element in the compound.
If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ic" with "ate". If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ous" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ous" with "ite." If the name of acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid does not contain oxygen, the name of the anion formed by the acid changes "ic" to "ide", and if the name of the acid begin with "hydro", these letters are deleted from the name of the anion.
The ending -ite typically indicates a mineral or chemical compound like quartzite or calcite, while -ate often signifies a salt, ester, or compound like sodium chloride or acetate. They are common suffixes in chemistry used to name and classify various substances based on their composition and properties.
It will end in -ic acid. For example perchlorate --> perchloric acid
It will be an ide ite or ate ex: chlorIDE sulfITE carbonATE
oxidation state of the element. If the element is in a higher oxidation state, the compound ends in -ate, and if it is in a lower oxidation state, the compound ends in -ite. In this case, zinc chlorate (Zn(ClO3)2) would be the compound ending in -ate, while zinc chlorite (Zn(ClO2)2) would be the compound ending in -ite.

That would be a date. Or pomegranate.
The name of an oxoanion ends with 'ate' when the central atom of it has the highest possible oxidation number. If it is slightly lesser (mostly 2), the common names of these compounds end with 'ite'. If the anion has no oxygen in it, usually it ends with 'ide'.

The second element's name is changed so that it ends in the suffix -ide.
If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ic" with "ate". If the name of the acid ends in the letters "ous" and the acid contains oxygen, the name of the anion formed from it replaces the "ous" with "ite." If the name of acid ends in the letters "ic" and the acid does not contain oxygen, the name of the anion formed by the acid changes "ic" to "ide", and if the name of the acid begin with "hydro", these letters are deleted from the name of the anion.

Polyatomic AnionOxigen. If a compound has name containing ending with -ite or -ate always contains Oxigen.-ite indicates three or less atoms in the compound. But it usually contain less than three oxigen atom.ex: SO3^2- sulfite ion, NO2- nitrite ion-ate indicates three or more oxigen atoms contained in the compoundex:ClO3- chlorate ion.Oxygen in the form of a polyatomic anion.
