List of Common Polyatomic Ions

This document lists common polyatomic ions and their charges. It includes cations such as ammonium (NH4+) and dimercury (Hg22+), as well as anions like acetate (C2H3O2-), carbonate (CO32-), and nitrate (NO3-). It also lists diatomic molecules like bromine (Br2), chlorine (Cl2), and oxygen (O2), along with variable valence cations and prefixes used in naming polyatomic ions.
