There are a zillion. Simply put, a polyatomic ion is an ion with two or more atoms in it. (Polyatomic is "multi" atom.) The number "zillion" isn't specific, of course, but we might be able to use it here in the science section to make a point. The phosphate group, PO4-2, and the hydroxyl group, OH-, are just two of many, many polyatomic ions. A link can be found below to the Wikipedia article on polyatomic ions. You'll find a looong list of them there. Why not check it out?

What polyatomic ions bond with other ions to form an ionic bond?
For examples ions as sulfate, nitrate, chlorate, phosphate, etc.
What is the polyatomic ions of ammonium?
The polyatomic ion for Ammonium is NH4+
Tightly-bound group of atoms that behaves as a unit and carries a net charge?
An ionized molecule. Common examples are Sulphate ions, Nitrate ions and Phosphate ions.
What are the usual endings for the names of polyatomic ions?
The names of most polyatomic ions end in -ite or -ate.
Polyatomic ions always carry a positive charge?
False. Polyatomic ions can carry either charge. For example, consider the sulphate ion - SO42- or the hydroxide ion, OH-. Negative polyatomic ions are, in fact, generally more common than positive ones.
Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of what?
Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.
What polyatomic ions bond with other ions to form an ionic bond?
For examples ions as sulfate, nitrate, chlorate, phosphate, etc.
Are a vast majority of polyatomic ions cations?
No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
Ions that are made up of more than one atom are examples of?
"Polyatomic ions", like carbonate (CO32-) and ammonium (NH4+)
What element do most of the polyatomic ions have in the formula?
Examples: oxygen, sulfur, carbon, phosphorus etc.
Which are polyatomic ions hydroxidechlorideammoniumand carbonate?
Except chloride, all others are polyatomic ions.
What are the polyatomic ions?
polyatomic ions are those ions which carry more than one atom,we can say that a group of atoms having single charge( which may be positive or negative) are polyatomic ions.
Predominantly what type of bonding is within polyatomic ions?
Covalent bonding is predominantly within polyatomic ions.
What is the polyatomic ions of ammonium?
The polyatomic ion for Ammonium is NH4+
Tightly-bound group of atoms that behaves as a unit and carries a net charge?
An ionized molecule. Common examples are Sulphate ions, Nitrate ions and Phosphate ions.
How are polyatomic ions similar to their constituent ions?
They are not similar.
Which are polyatomic ion?
For example no3 or co3 are all polyatomic ions
