The sulfate or sulphate (see spelling differences) ion is a polyatomic anion with the empirical formula SO 2− 4. . Sulfate is the spelling recommended by IUPAC, but sulphate is used in British English. Salts, acid derivatives, and peroxides of sulfate are widely used in industry.
In some cases, the ligand has two or more atoms capable of donating a pair of electrons for forming a coordinate covalent bond to a metal atom. If the spatial distance between such atoms is not too close or too far, these atoms may coordinate to the same atom. The first example is the carbonate ion.
