(2.2) IONIC COMPOUNDS- POLYATOMIC NAMES & FORMULAS…MORE
Polyatomic Ions A polyatomic ion: is an ion that is made up of two or more atoms has a positive or negative charge
Polyatomic Ions Example: nitrate ion NO31- This ion has a charge of -1
Polyatomic Ions We use polyatomic compounds in our daily life! ex. ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 (fertilizer) calcium carbonate CaCO3 (chalk)
Some Common Polyatomic Ions Name of ion Formula Charge ammonium NH41 +1 hydroxide OH1- -1 nitrate NO31- carbonate CO32- -2 sulfate SO42-
Writing Formulas To write a formula for a polyatomic compound use the “criss-cross” method. Examples: a) sodium nitrate NaNO3 b) calcium hydroxide c) ammonium nitrate d) potassium carbonate NOTE: (use brackets where needed)
