Notice the endings of the names of polyatomic ions. Many end in “ATE”, some end in “ITE” and a few end in “IDE”
There are a few polyatomic ions that have more than one possible name.
There are a few polyatomic ions that have more than one possible name.
There are a few polyatomic ions that have more than one possible name. For example hydrogen carbonate,can also be called bicarbonate. Be aware that the “bi” prefix in these ions does NOT mean “2”. It actually stands for “hydrogen”.
