Question

What are poly atomic ions? Give a few examples...

Answer 1

Answer:

• Polyatomic atoms are the group of atoms that have a net charge on them.
• Polyatomic atoms are the group of atoms that have a net charge on them.Hence ions are charged particles .
• Polyatomic atoms are the group of atoms that have a net charge on them.Hence ions are charged particles .Example :
• Polyatomic atoms are the group of atoms that have a net charge on them.Hence ions are charged particles .Example :Sulphate ion --- SO4⁻²
• Polyatomic atoms are the group of atoms that have a net charge on them.Hence ions are charged particles .Example :Sulphate ion --- SO4⁻²sulphate ion contains atoms of sulphur and oxygen atoms with a net charge of -2.
• Polyatomic atoms are the group of atoms that have a net charge on them.Hence ions are charged particles .Example :Sulphate ion --- SO4⁻²sulphate ion contains atoms of sulphur and oxygen atoms with a net charge of -2.Carbonate Ion -- CO3⁻²

Answer 2

Answer:

Polyatomic ions are ions which consist of more than one atom. For example, nitrate ion, NO3-, contains one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms. The atoms in a polyatomic ion are usually covalently bonded to one another, and therefore stay together as a single, charged unit.
