The three hydrogen-containing polyatomic anions essential for living systems are phosphate (PO4^3-), bicarbonate (HCO3^-), and hydroxide (OH^-). These ions play important roles in biological processes such as energy transfer (phosphate), pH regulation (bicarbonate), and chemical reactions (hydroxide).
No, polyatomic anions do not always end in -ide. Some polyatomic anions end in -ate or -ite, depending on the number of oxygen atoms in the ion. Examples include nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-).
Na2BeO2 is the chemical formula for "sodium beryllate", a salt with sodium cations and polyatomic beryllate anions.
Most simple polyatomic ions have an overall charge due to the gain or loss of one or more electrons. They are typically made up of a small number of atoms bonded together and have a specific charge associated with their structure. These ions are generally stable and can participate in chemical reactions to form compounds.
The chemical formula for ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3.
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is an inorganic compound classified as a salt. It is composed of sodium cations (Na+) and carbonate anions (CO3^2-).
No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
No, polyatomic anions do not always end in -ide. Some polyatomic anions end in -ate or -ite, depending on the number of oxygen atoms in the ion. Examples include nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-).
They are anions
A polyatomic ion is one that contains more than one atom. Many common anions are polyatomic, e.g. NO3-, SO42-, CO32-, PO43- Cations may be polyatomic, e.g NH4+, Hg22+
Cations are positive ions (Fe2+, NH4+).Anions are negative ions (Cl-, (SO4)2-).Fe2+ is a monoatomic ion and (NH4)+ is a polyatomic Ion (contain more than one element).
There are at least two reasonable answers to this question: anions and cations or monatomic and polyatomic.
Potassium sulfate contains both covalent and ionic bonding. Potassium cations are bonded ionically to the polyatomic sulfate anions, and these anions are internally bonded covalently.
Only nonmetal elements can usually form monatomic anions, but some metallic elements, such as aluminum and iron, can form polyatomic anions that also include other very strongly electronegative elements, such as oxygen and fluorine.
Yes, with itself in the diatomic molecule O2, in many polyatomic anions, and in oxides with most nonmetallic elements.
Na2BeO2 is the chemical formula for "sodium beryllate", a salt with sodium cations and polyatomic beryllate anions.

Anions end in -ide if they are monatomic. Example: chlorine becomes "chloride." Polyatomic ions will have different suffixes.
