Question

what is polyatomic ton ? give example






​

Answer 1

Answer:

polyatomic ion, also known as a molecular ion, is a covalently bonded set of two or more atoms, or of a metal complex, that can be considered to behave as a single unit and that has a net charge that is not zero.

Answer 2

Hello

There is no such thing called as Polyatomic ton, but you must have meant Polyatomic ion.

What is it?

A polyatomic ion, also known as a molecular ion, is a covalently bonded set of two or more atoms, or of a metal complex, that can be considered to behave as a single unit and that has a net charge that is not zero. Unlike a molecule, which has a net charge of zero, this chemical species is an ion.

Examples:

Some examples are: NO−3, this is nitrate ion and it is regarded as a polyatomic ion because there is one nitrogen and three oxygen atoms and it has a negative charge. SO2−4, this is sulfate ion and it is regarded as a polyatomic ion because there is one sulfur and four oxygen atoms and it has a -2 charge.

Thank you :)
