Polyatomic cations are rare primarily because cations are typically formed by the loss of electrons from neutral atoms or molecules, which generally leads to simpler, more stable configurations. In contrast, polyatomic anions are more abundant as they form when atoms or molecules gain electrons, allowing for the stabilization of negative charges through resonance and delocalization. Additionally, many polyatomic anions consist of nonmetals that can form multiple bonds and share electron density, enhancing their stability and prevalence in various compounds.

Why are lanthanide's called rare earth metals?
Lanthanides are called rare earth metals because they are not frequently found in concentrated deposits, making them less abundant than other metals. The name "rare earth" refers to the fact that these elements were initially believed to be rare when they were first discovered. However, they are actually more abundant than some other elements in the Earth's crust.
What ionic compound would you expect to form between aluminum and sulfur?
As cations, they retain their original names (examples: aluminum chloride, sulfur dioxide). As anions, they get "ide" endings and become aluminide (very rare) and sulfide (not quite as rare). Combined with oxygen in complex anions, they form aluminates, sulfites, sulfates, etc.
