Study Notes
Common Polyatomic Ions
- Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms that act as a single unit with a charge.
- The table lists common polyatomic ions with their symbols and charges.
- Ammonium (NH₄⁺¹) has a charge of +1.
- Acetate (C₂H₃O₂⁻¹) has a charge of -1.
- Hydroxide (OH⁻¹) has a charge of -1.
- Nitrate (NO₃⁻¹) has a charge of -1.
- Nitrite (NO₂⁻¹) has a charge of -1.
- Carbonate (CO₃⁻²) has a charge of -2.
- Sulfate (SO₄⁻²) has a charge of -2.
- Sulfite (SO₃⁻²) has a charge of -2.
- Phosphate (PO₄⁻³) has a charge of -3.
- Polyatomic ions with "-ite" endings have one less oxygen atom compared to the "-ate" ending. They have the same charge.
