Since this is a chemistry question, it is assumed that the question is really about the suffixes "-ate" and "-ite". These suffixes are used to distinguish salts of oxyacids of elements that have at least two such oxyacids, corresponding to different degrees of oxidation of the element other than hydrogen and oxygen in the oxyacid. "-ate" is used for the salt of the higher oxidation state considered most characteristic of the element and "ite" for the salt of the next lower oxidation state that forms an oxyacid. for example, "sulfate" has the formula SO4-2 and "sulfite" has the formula SO3-2, with sulfur having a formal oxidation state of +6 in sulfate and +4 in sulfite.
-Ite at the end of an ion means that the compound has 2 oxygen and -ate means there is 3 oxygen.
In chemistry, the suffix -ate indicates an anion with more oxygen atoms compared to the base element, -ite indicates an anion with fewer oxygen atoms, and -ide typically indicates a binary compound where two elements are bonded together.
It will be an ide ite or ate ex: chlorIDE sulfITE carbonATE
Bicarbonate is an anion. Ions ending in -ate, -ite, or -ide are anions.
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.
-Ite at the end of an ion means that the compound has 2 oxygen and -ate means there is 3 oxygen.
In chemistry, the suffix "ite" is used to indicate a lower oxidation state of an element, while the suffix "ate" is used to indicate a higher oxidation state of an element.
The usual endings for polyatomic ions are "-ate" and "-ite." The "-ate" ending signifies the ion with the larger number of oxygen atoms, while the "-ite" ending signifies the ion with one less oxygen atom.
The "ite" vs. "ate" in ions refers to the number of oxygens in the ion. ex: Nitrate = NO3- Nitrite = NO2- It follows the system of: per....ate (add one oxygen to ate) ate (3 or 4 oxygens, depending on the ion, this is usually the "base") ite (subtract one oxygen from ate) hypo....ite (subract two oxygens from ate
The -ite or -ate ending in a polyatomic ion is simply an indication of the amount of oxygen atoms present. The -are ending is used in the base form. If the polyatomic ion has one less oxygen atom than the -ate form, the -ite form applies.
ite or ate
One should use 'ite' when naming an oxyanion with one less oxygen atom than the 'ate' form, and 'ate' when naming the oxyanion with the most oxygen atoms.

The ite suffix in chemical compound names indicates a lower oxidation state of an element compared to the -ate suffix. It helps differentiate between different forms of the same element in a compound.
In chemistry, the suffix -ate indicates an anion with more oxygen atoms compared to the base element, -ite indicates an anion with fewer oxygen atoms, and -ide typically indicates a binary compound where two elements are bonded together.
It will be an ide ite or ate ex: chlorIDE sulfITE carbonATE
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.
