    Ion Reference

    Pre-AP Chemistry

    Ion: An atom or group of atoms that has a charge (+ or -)


    Charge: atoms develop a charge when electrons are lost or gained. Present in ionic substances.
    Oxidation number: atoms take on an oxidation number when electrons are shared unequally in
    covalent/molecular substances. In an ionic substance, charge = oxidation number.
    Monatomic ion: An ion made from a single atom (example: Na+ , sodium ion)
    Polyatomic ion: An ion made from more than one atom (example: NO 3 , nitrate ion)

    Common Polyatomic Ions


    ~to be memorized~

    Ions with 1+ charge Ions with 1- charge Ions with 2- charge Ions with 3- charge
    Symbol Name Symbol Name Symbol Name Symbol Name
    NH4 + ammonium C2H3O2 acetate CO32 carbonate PO33 phosphite
    H 3O + hydronium ClO4 perchlorate CrO4 2
    chromate PO4 3
    phosphate
    ClO3 chlorate Cr2O72 dichromate

    ClO2 chlorite HPO42 hydrogen phosphate
    ClO hypochlorite O22 peroxide
    2
    Ion with 2+ charge CN cyanide SO3 sulfite
    Hg 2 2+ mercury (I) HCO3 hydrogen carbonate
    SO42 sulfate
    (bicarbonate)
    HSO4 hydrogen sulfate (bisulfate)
    HSO3 hydrogen sulfite (bisulfite)
    H2PO4 dihydrogen phosphate

    Other Polyatomic Ions


    ~for reference only; not to be memorized~

    Symbol Name Symbol Name Symbol Name


    FO3 fluorate SiF62 hexafluorosilicate AsO43 arsenate
    BrO3 bromate TeO42 tellurate C6H5O73 citrate
    N 3 azide S2O32 thiosulfate BO33 borate
    SCN thiocyanate Si2O32 silicate
    IO3 iodate C2O42 oxalate
    OCN cyanate SeO42 selenate
    C4H4O62 tartarate
    MoO42 molybdate
    Monovalent Monatomic Ions
    Monovalent: Describes ion having only one possible charge (oxidation #)
    Multivalent: Describes a monatomic ion having more than one possible charge (oxidation #)

    Elements in columns of the Periodic Table labeled above always* take on the indicated charge when they
    become ions. Memorize this pattern!
    o Examples: Calcium ions have a 2+ charge; fluoride ions (from fluorine) have a 1- charge
    o Exception: Hydrogen can also form a 1- ion (less common than 1+). In this case, H is called the hydride ion.
    Group 14 elements form multivalent cations and anions.
    Memorize these monovalent ions not in one of the above columns: Zinc: Zn 2+ Silver: Ag + Cadmium: Cd 2+
    Memorize the mercury ions: Mercury: Hg 2 2+ (mercury I) and Hg 2+ (mercury II)

    Memorize Everything Above This Line

    Multivalent Monatomic Ions


    With the exception of the above 3 metals, other metals not found in one of the above labeled columns of the Periodic
    Table can be assumed to have variable charge. This means that the charge for these ions is not always the same; they
    are multivalent. Roman numerals are used to indicate the charge in the written chemical name of the ion.
    Example: Copper can be 1+ (Cu+, copper (I) ion) or 2+ (Cu2+, copper (II) ion).
    The charge on a multivalent ion found in a chemical formula, such as CuCl 2 , can be determined quickly and easily. Your
    teacher will instruct you on determination of charge for these metals in the Chemical Nomenclature unit.

    More examples of common multivalent ions:


    Iron: Fe 2+ (iron II) and Fe 3+ (iron III)
    Lead: Pb 2+ (lead II) and Pb 4+ (lead IV)
    Tin: Sn 2+ (tin II) and Sn 4+ (tin IV)
    Chromium: Cr 2+ (chromium II) and Cr 3+ (chromium III)
