4 The names of common polyatomic anions end in ate. NO 3 − nitratePO 4 3− phosphate with one oxygen less end in ite. NO 2 − nitritePO 3 3− phosphite with hydrogen attached use the prefix hydrogen (or bi). HCO 3 − hydrogen carbonate(bicarbonate) HSO 3 − hydrogen sulfite (bisulfite) Some Names of Polyatomic Ions

5 Names and Formulas of Common Polyatomic Ions

6 The positive ion is named first, followed by the name of the polyatomic ion. NaNO 3 sodium nitrate K 2 SO 4 potassium sulfate Fe(HCO 3 ) 3 iron(III) bicarbonate or iron(III) hydrogen carbonate (NH 4 ) 3 PO 3 ammonium phosphite Naming Compounds with Polyatomic Ions
