Polyatomic ions Flashcards
Formate
HCOO^-
Hydronium
H3O^+
What are monotomic anions and what do their groups include
They are main group elements whose ion charges are predictable
They include main groups 5A, 6A, and 7A
What is the formation of naming monatomic anions
Name of the parent atom base + ide + ion
ex. F^- is Fluoride, N^3- is nitride
What type of bonding occurs within anions
Covalent bonding
What are oxyanions
Polyatomic ions with oxygens bound to other elements
What are patterns in naming polyatomic ions
-ite” form always has 1 less
oxygen than “-ate” form, but
same charge
* oxyanions with more than 2
forms use prefixes “per-” and
“hypo-”
* adding H+ changes the name
and the charge of the oxyanion
Acetate
C2H3O2^-
Carbonate
CO3^2-
Hydrogen carbonate (or bicarbonate)
OH^-
Nitrite
NO2^-
Nitrate
NO3^-
Chromate

Hypochlorite
ClO^-
Permanganate
MnO4^-
Sulfite
SO3^2-
Hydrogen sulfite (or bisulfite)
HSO3^-
Sulfate
SO4^2-
Hydrogen sulfate
HSO4^-
Cyanide

Lead (IV) meaning
Pb^4+
Hydrates
Ionic compounds in which formula unit has a certain amount of water molecules associated with it
The numbers of water molecules are designated by prefixes
Prefixes for naming hydrates
mono- = 1
di- = 2
tri- = 3
tetra- = 4
penta- = 5
hexa- = 6
hepta- = 7
octa- = 8
nona- = 9
deca- = 10
monohydrate
1 H20
dihydrate
2 H20
Trihydrate
3H20
Tetrahydrate
4H20
Pentahydrate
5H20
Hexahydrate
6H20
Heptahydrate
7H20
Octahydrate
8H20
Nonahydrate
9H20
Decahydrate
10H20
Binary molecular compound rules
binary - means two elements
- name the first nonmetal and use the proper prefix to designate
number if it’s 2 or more
* never use “mono-” for the first element - name the second nonmetal and use the proper prefix to designate number
* when a prefix ends in “a” or “o” and the element’s name begins with “o”,
drop the “a” or “o” from the prefix - binary molecular compounds end in “-ide”
Predictable monotomic cations
Elements whose ion charges are predictable from the
-Name of parent atom + “ion”
Unpredictable monotomic cations naming formation
Name of parent atom + (charge in roman numerals) + “ion”
ex. Cr^2+ = Chromium (II)
