Study Notes

Polyatomic Ions

  • Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms that carry a charge.
  • The charge of a polyatomic ion is determined by the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms in the group.

Common Polyatomic Ions

  • The most common polyatomic ions are those containing oxygen and a nonmetal atom.
  • The names of these ions follow a predictable pattern, with the suffix "-ate" or "-ite" being used to indicate the number of oxygen atoms.
  • "Per-ate" ions have one more oxygen atom than the "ate" ion.
  • "Hypo-ite" ions have two fewer oxygen atoms than the "ate" ion.

Sulfate and Sulfite

  • "Sulfate" is the most common form of the SO4 ions.
  • "Sulfite" is the form of SO4 ions with one fewer oxygen.

Phosphate and Phosphite

  • "Phosphate" is the most common form of the PO4 ions.
  • "Phosphite" is the form of PO4 ions with one fewer oxygen.

Other Polyatomic Ions

  • "Permanganate" is MnO4-1
  • "Acetate" is C2H3O2-1
  • "Hydrogen carbonate" (also known as "bicarbonate") is HCO3-1
  • "Dichromate" is Cr2O72-
  • "Hydroxide" is OH-1
  • "Cyanide" is CN-1
  • "Ammonium" is NH4+1

Memorizing Polyatomic Ions

  • There are helpful resources available to help memorize polyatomic ions.

Polyatomic Ions

  • Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms that act as a single charged unit.
  • Polyatomic ions are common in chemistry and have specific names and formulas.
  • The names of polyatomic ions are often based on their chemical composition, with prefixes and suffixes indicating the number of oxygen atoms present.
  • "Per-ate" ions have one more oxygen atom than "ate" ions.
  • "Ite" ions have one less oxygen atom than "ate" ions.
  • "Hypo-ite" ions have two less oxygen atoms than "ate" ions.
  • The most common form of a polyatomic ion is typically the "ate" form.
  • Common examples of polyatomic ions include:
    • Nitrate (NO3-1)
    • Carbonate (CO32-)
    • Phosphate (PO43-)
    • Sulfate (SO42-)
    • Ammonium (NH4+1)
    • Hydroxide (OH-1)
    • Cyanide (CN-1)
    • Acetate (C2H3O2-1)
    • Permanganate (MnO4-1)
    • Dichromate (Cr2O72-)
    • Hydrogen carbonate (or bicarbonate) (HCO3-1)
  • The charge of a polyatomic ion can be indicated before or after the number, as long as the sign is included.
  • For polyatomic ions with a charge of +1 or -1, the number 1 can be omitted, but the sign must still be present.
