∙ 11y agoA polyatomic ion is held together by covalent bonds between atoms. They can be either positive or negative. For example, the ammonium ion, NH4+, has a positive charge, and the sulfate ion, SO42-, has a negative charge.

A Polyatomic ion is a covalently bonded group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge and acts as a unit
Polyatomic refers to molecules or ions composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded together. These atoms can be the same or different elements bonded in a specific arrangement. Examples include sulfate (SO4^2-) and water (H2O).
The entire compound magnesium sulfate, MgSO4, is made up of a polyatomic ion. The sulfate ion (SO4) is a polyatomic ion consisting of sulfur and oxygen atoms covalently bonded together.
An ionic compound is more soluble than a covalently bonded compound.
There is no such thing. There are polyatomic ions, which are positively or negatively charged, covelantly bonded groups of atoms, though.
The anion with the formula NO3-1 is a covalently bonded polyatomic ion.
A positively charged covalently bonded group of atoms is called a cation, which typically forms when an atom loses one or more electrons. A negatively charged covalently bonded group of atoms is called an anion, which forms when an atom gains one or more electrons.
In copper sulfate (CuSO4), the polyatomic ion is SO4^2-, which is covalently bonded. The copper ion (Cu) is not part of the polyatomic ion and is ionically bonded to the sulfate ion.
NO3 is a covalently bonded polyatomic ion.
An ionic compound with polyatomic ions is formed through the attraction between positively charged metal ions and negatively charged polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions are covalently bonded groups of atoms that have an overall charge, making them act as a single charged unit in the formation of ionic compounds.
An ion that contains a covalently bonded group of atoms is called a polyatomic ion. It is formed when two or more atoms are covalently bonded together and then gain or lose electrons to become charged. Polyatomic ions can have a positive or negative charge, depending on the number of electrons gained or lost.
An ion is a charged particle. A polyatomic ion is a group of covalently bonded atoms that, as a whole, have a charge.
An anion is a negatively charged ion that has gained electrons. A cation is a positively charged ion that has lost electrons. A polyatomic ion is a charged particle composed of two or more covalently bonded atoms that act as a single unit.

The polyatomic ion in the compound Na2O2 is the peroxide ion (O2^2-).
In copper carbonate (CuCO3), the carbonate ion (CO3^2-) is a covalently bonded polyatomic ion. The copper atom is not part of the polyatomic ion in this compound and is ionically bonded to the carbonate ion.
