**Polyatomic Ions
High priority ions duplicated for higher "flash frequency".
| Polyatomic Ions | Polyatomic Ions |
|---|---|
| formula for ammonium?*** | NH4 (+1) |
| formula for sulfite?** | SO3 (-2) |
| NO2 (-1) | nitrite** |
| formula for chlorate?* | ClO3 (-1) |
| formula for chlorite?* | ClO2 (-1) |
| formula for perchlorate?* | ClO4 (-1) |
| formula for hypochlorite?* | ClO (-1) |
| formula for chromate?* | CrO4 (-2) |
| formula for cyanide?* | CN (-1) |
| formula for thiocyanate? | SCN (-1) |

| formula for hydrogen sulfate?* | HSO4 (-1) |
| formula for hydrogen sulfite? | HSO3 (-1) |
| Aside from hydronium (H3O+), what's the only common polyatomic cation?*** | Ammonium. Professors LOVE to test you on this one. |
| formula for acetate?** | CH3COO (-1) |
| formula for bromite? | BrO2 (-1) |
| formula for bromate? | BrO3 (-1) |
| formula for chromite?* | CrO2 (-1) |

| peroxide** | O2 (-2) |
| formula for sulfate?*** | SO4 (-2) |
| formula for phosphate?*** | PO4 (-3) |
| formula for carbonate?*** | CO3 (-2) |
| formula for nitrite?*** | NO2 (-1) |
| "Per___ate" has [one more, one fewer] O than "___ate"? | one more |
| "___ate has [one more, one fewer] O than "___ite"? | one more |
| "Hypo___ite" has [one more, one fewer] O than "___ite"? | one fewer |
| How does charge differ between the ates, ites, per___ates and hypo___ites? | The charge (almost always) stays the same, but the number of O changes. |

| formula for hydroxide?*** | OH (-1) |
| NH4 (+1) | ammonium*** |
| formula for chlorate?* | ClO3 (-1) |
