Polyatomic ion. An electrostatic potential map of the nitrate ion (N O − 3). Areas coloured translucent red, around the outside of the red oxygen atoms themselves, signify the regions of most negative electrostatic potential. A polyatomic ion (also known as a molecular ion) is a covalent bonded set of two or more atoms, or of a metal complex ...
An ionic compound is named by its cation followed by its anion. See polyatomic ion for a list of possible ions. For cations that take on multiple charges, the charge is written using Roman numerals in parentheses immediately following the element name. For example, Cu(NO 3) 2 is copper(II) nitrate, because the charge of two nitrate ions (NO −
Nucleons are the fermionic constituents of normal atomic nuclei: Protons, composed of two up and one down quark (uud) Neutrons, composed of two down and one up quark (ddu) Hyperons, such as the Λ, Σ, Ξ, and Ω particles, which contain one or more strange quarks, are short-lived and heavier than nucleons.
Infobox references. A carbonate is a salt of carbonic acid, H2CO3, [2] characterized by the presence of the carbonate ion, a polyatomic ion with the formula CO2− 3. The word "carbonate" may also refer to a carbonate ester, an organic compound containing the carbonate group O=C (−O−)2. The term is also used as a verb, to describe ...
Polyhalogen ions. Not to be confused with Polyhalite. Polyhalogen ions are a group of polyatomic cations and anions containing halogens only. The ions can be classified into two classes, isopolyhalogen ions which contain one type of halogen only, and heteropolyhalogen ions with more than one type of halogen.
Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.
The μ 4 describes the bridging of the central oxide ion. (Note the use of the kappa convention to describe the bridging of the acetate ion where both oxygen atoms are involved.) In the name where a ligand is involved in different modes of bridging, the multiple bridging is listed in decreasing order of complexity, e.g. μ 3 bridging before μ ...
Mercury polycations are polyatomic cations that contain only mercury atoms. The best known example is the Hg2+. 2 ion, found in mercury (I) (mercurous) compounds. The existence of the metal–metal bond in Hg (I) compounds was established using X-ray studies in 1927 [2][page needed] and Raman spectroscopy in 1934 [3] making it one of the ...
