Polyatomic Ions / Actual Test Questions with
Detailed Verified Answer / Already Graded A.
(A polyatomic ion is a charged particle which has two or more atoms held
together by covalent (sharing of pairs of electrons) bonds Some rules: 1. Ions
that end in ate have oxygen in them. 2. Elements in the same family make
similar ions. So for example if you know chlorate, you also know bromate and
iodate too (BrO3-, and IO3-). There are some exceptions. Nitrate is not like
phosphate even though nitrogen and phosphorus are in the same group.
However arsenate is like phosphate. (But bismuthate i…)
