Ions that form from one atom on the Periodic Table are call monatomic ions. However not all ionic bonds are formed with monatomic ions, polyatomic ions can form ionic bonds as well. The prefix poly- means many and atomic refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one atom. This differentiates polyatomic ions from monatomic ions, which contain only one atom. Examples of monatomic ions include Na+, Fe3+, Cl-, and many, many others. We can think about polyatomic ions by comparing them to monatomic ions. A monatomic ion is an atom that has been ionized by gaining or losing electrons. The ion has a net charge because the total number of electrons is not balanced by the total number of protons in the nucleus. Thus, compared to the neutral atom, we have extra electrons—in the case of a negatively charged anion—or not enough electrons—in the case of a positively charged cation. For example, a neutral chlorine atom has an atomic number of 17, which means it has 17…
Write the anion names for the ions, F- ,S2- and O2-. A) The name of the ion F- is fluorite, S2- is sulfide, O2-is oxite. B) The name of the ion F- is fluoride, S2- is sulfate, O2-is oxite. C) The name of the ion F- is fluoride, S2- is sulfide, O2-is oxide. D) The name of the ion F- is fluorate, S2- is sulfite, O2-is oxide.
