Polyatomic Ions
Polyatomic ions are molecular ions composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded together, carrying a net electric charge. These ions play a fundamental role in various chemical reactions and are essential components in the formation of many compounds. With distinct properties determined by their composition, polyatomic ions exhibit both acidic and basic characteristics, influencing the overall behavior of compounds they are a part of. Understanding their structures and charges is crucial in grasping the complexities of chemical reactions and the formation of diverse substances in the realm of chemistry.
