Document Summary

Polyatomic ion: made up of a few atoms joined by covalent bonds. Polyatomic anions are much more common than polyatomic cations. Mercury2, hg2: consist of a core element. Can be metal or nonmetal (metals are more common) Chromium, cr, and manganese, mn are the only metals that make polyatomic anions. Permanganate, mno4: other atoms are bonded to the core element , most of the common polyatomic ions are oxoanions. Can be bonded through single or double covalent bonds. Oxoanions: contain o (as the other atoms which are bonded to the core element through either single or double bonds. Some oxoanions may also contain various numbers of h atoms example below. Most of the common polyatomic anions are oxoanions, except for: Cyanide ion, cn: the total/net charge of the polyatomic anion will be the difference between: The combined -os of the other elements . Example: how oxoanions can contain h atoms in their structure.
