What is the polyatomic ion mnemonic, and what are they?
Nick the Camel ATE a Clam for Supper in Phoenix
Nick = Nitrate = No3-
Camel = Carbonate = (CO3)2-
ATE = all of these ions are -ates = 3/4 oxygen
Clam = Chlorate = (ClO3)-
Supper = Sulfate = (SO4)2-
Phoenix = Phosphate = (PO4)3-
The -ite version of all of these ions is one less oxygen
