The hydroxide ion (OH⁻) is a polyatomic ion itself, consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom. Therefore, it can be said that there is one polyatomic ion in OH. Polyatomic ions are characterized by containing multiple atoms, and in this case, OH qualifies as such.

Except chloride, all others are polyatomic ions.


How many polyatomic ion are there?

There are many polyatomic ions, but some common ones include sulfate (SO4^2-), nitrate (NO3^-), carbonate (CO3^2-), and hydroxide (OH^-). These ions consist of two or more atoms covalently bonded together with an overall charge.


What are examples of polyatomic ions?

There are a zillion. Simply put, a polyatomic ion is an ion with two or more atoms in it. (Polyatomic is "multi" atom.) The number "zillion" isn't specific, of course, but we might be able to use it here in the science section to make a point. The phosphate group, PO4-2, and the hydroxyl group, OH-, are just two of many, many polyatomic ions. A link can be found below to the Wikipedia article on polyatomic ions. You'll find a looong list of them there. Why not check it out?


Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of what?

Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.


Is Ca(OH)2 a polyatomic compound?

Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂, is not considered a polyatomic compound itself, but it contains a polyatomic ion, hydroxide (OH⁻). In this compound, two hydroxide ions are bonded to a calcium ion (Ca²⁺). Therefore, while Ca(OH)₂ is an ionic compound, it includes a polyatomic ion within its structure.


Are a vast majority of polyatomic ions cations?

What are the polyatomic ions?

polyatomic ions are those ions which carry more than one atom,we can say that a group of atoms having single charge( which may be positive or negative) are polyatomic ions.


Polyatomic ions always carry a positive charge?

False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.
