**Polyatomic Ions

High priority ions duplicated for higher "flash frequency".

Polyatomic IonsPolyatomic 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 phosphite?** PO3 (-3)
formula for hydrogen phosphate?** HPO4 (-2)
formula for dihydrogen phosphate?** H2PO4 (-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)
formula for hydronium?*** H3O (+1...water with an added H+)
formula for iodate? IO3 (-1)
formula for iodite? IO2 (-1)
formula for perbromate? BrO4 (-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 carbonate?*** CO3 (-2)
formula for hydroxide?*** OH (-1)
NH4 (+1) ammonium***
formula for chlorate?* ClO3 (-1)
Do any monoatomic ions end in "ite"? Nope, they are usually "ides" like chloride, fluoride, etc.
formula for nitrate? NO3 (-1)
formula for hydrogen carbonate?*** HCO3 (-1)
CO3 (-2) carbonate***
SO3 (-2) sulfite**
SO4 (-2) sulfate***
HCO3 (-1) hydrogen carbonate***
OH (-1) hydroxide***
ClO4 (-1) perchlorate**
ClO3 (-1) chlorate**
ClO2 (-1) chlorite**
ClO (-1) hypochlorite*
O2 (-2) peroxide*
CH3COO (-1) acetate**
CN (-1) cyanide**
NO3 (-1) nitrate***
BrO2 (-1) bromite
BrO3 (-1) bromate
H3O (+1) hydronium***
IO3 (-1) iodate
IO4 (-1) periodate
IO2 (-1) iodite
IO (-1) hypoiodite
PO3 (-3) phosphite**
Do any monoatomic ions end in "ate"? No. They are usually "ides" like chloride, iodide, etc.
formula for periodate? IO4 (-1)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
