Chemistry Polyatomic Ions
Patterns in Naming Polyatomic Ions • Memorize the “ate”s (contains oxygen) • “ite” means one less oxygen than an “ate” • “per” prefix means one more oxygen than an “ate” • “hypo” prefix means one less oxygen than an “ite” • Some polyatomic ions have names that do not follow these patterns.
