A charged ion that is composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded.
No: Each chloride ion contains only one atom.
Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.
No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
Except chloride, all others are 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.
Covalent bonding is predominantly within polyatomic ions.
The polyatomic ion for Ammonium is NH4+
They are not similar.
For example no3 or co3 are all polyatomic ions
Polyatomic ions ending in -ate in common form contain oxygen.
The names of most polyatomic ions end in -ite or -ate.
polyatomic ions
They are both ions and both can form an ionic compound
