When nonmetal atoms combine, they may not be stable and need to gain or lose electrons to form polyatomic ions. Some common polyatomic ions are listed, with the -ate ions being the most stable form and the -ite ions having one less oxygen. To name polyatomic ion compounds, write the cation first using its normal name, then the anion using the name from the ion list, and determine the lowest whole number ratio that gives an overall neutral charge.

— When nonmetal atoms combine, they share electrons
to become stable — But sometimes, even after sharing electrons, the groups of atoms are still not stable — The groups of atoms must gain additional electrons (in one or two rare cases, they lose electrons instead). Some polyatomic ions — SO42- Sulphate — SO32- Sulphite — NO3- Nitrate — NO2- Nitrite — ClO3- Chlorate — ClO2- Chlorite — PO43- Phosphate — PO33- Phosphite
•What do you notice is different about the group on the right
compared to the group on the left? •The –ate ions are the most stable forms for those ions •The –ite ions have one less oxygen — You do not have to be able to figure out charges or numbers of oxygens on the ions — You can use the list of polyatomic ions — There is one polyatomic ion that you should memorize for the sake of convenience: NH4+ ammonium Naming & Formulas — 1. Name the cation (+ ion) first (normal name) — 2. Name the anion (- ion) (name as shown on table of the ions) — 3. Determine lowest whole number ratio of ions that will provide a net charge of zero. (Subscripts *Parentheses as needed) — 4. Use roman numerals to show the charge of the metal ion (if applicable). Examples — Calcium carbonate — CaCO3 — Lithium nitrate — LiNO3 — Potassium nitrite — KNO2 — magnesium chlorate — Mg(ClO3)2 — iron (III) chlorite — Fe(ClO2)3
