Question

what chareristic is most shared by most simple polyomatic ions

Answer 1

Answer;

They are anions.

Explanation;

• Polyatomic ions are the ions that contain 2 or more different atoms that are covalently bonded to each other.
• Examples include; Nitrate : NO₃⁻, Sulfate : SO₄²⁻,Hydroxide : OH⁻, and Phosphate : PO₄³⁻, etc.
• Polyatomic ions are tightly bound group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge and behaves as a unit.

Answer 2

Answer:

The characteristic that is most shared by most simple polyomatic ions is that most of them are anions

Explanation:

In chemistry polyatomic ions are those ions that contain 2 or more different atoms which are chemically bonded to each other. Polyatomic ions may be both positively charged or negatively charged. But mostly if we take a look at the polyatomic ions, we will see that almost all of them are anions .

Some examples of polyatomic ions are given below.

• Nitrate : NO₃⁻

• Sulfate : SO₄²⁻

• Hydroxide : OH⁻
• Phosphate : PO₄³⁻
