Question
Chapter 4, Problem 15A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The oxyanion containing maximum oxygen atoms is to be chosen
Concept introduction:
Oxyanion is a class of polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ion involves more than one atom which carries a net charge and exists as a single unit. Oxyanion is an anion of oxygen and another non-metal. For example: sulphate ion
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 15A
Perchlorate ion
Explanation of Solution
The rules which are used to name series of oxyanions are:
- The standard anion ends with ‘ate’.
- For the anion carrying one more oxygen, prefix ‘per’ is used.
- The anion carrying one less oxygen atom ends with ‘ite’.
- The anion carrying two less oxygen ends with ‘ite’ and prefix ‘hypo’ is also used.
Chlorate ion is the standard ion for naming oxyanions of chlorine.
Formula | Name |
Perchlorate ion | |
Chlorate ion | |
Chlorite ion | |
Hypochlorite ion |
Conclusion
Thus, perchlorate ion contains maximum number of oxygen atoms.
