What is. Polyatomic ions? Give example. |
|
Answer» A group of atoms carrying a charge is known as polyatomic ion, example of polyatomic cation: NH4+ and polyatomic anion: NO3-. Polyatomic ions are ions which consist of more than one atom. For example, nitrate ion, NO3-, contains one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms. The atoms in a polyatomic ion are usually covalently bonded to one another, and therefore stay together as a single, charged unit. |
