No, P4 S8 and O2 are not polyatomic compounds. P4 and S8 refer to elements forming molecules, while O2 refers to a diatomic molecule. Polyatomic compounds consist of two or more different elements bonded together in a molecule.
The subscript outside the parentheses applies to all the elements within the polyatomic ion. It indicates how many of the entire polyatomic ion are present in the compound.
Elements do not contain polyatomic ions. Examples of substances that do not contain polyatomic ions include water (H2O), sodium chloride (NaCl), and oxygen gas (O2).
No, a polyatomic ion is a molecule composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded that carries a net charge. A molecule of dissimilar elements with a net charge is generally referred to as an ion, but not specifically as a polyatomic ion unless it contains multiple atoms of different elements.
The polyatomic ion Au2Co3 does not exist. "Au2" represents two gold atoms, while "Co3" represents three cobalt atoms. These elements do not typically form polyatomic ions together.
Polyatomic elements.
No, P4 S8 and O2 are not polyatomic compounds. P4 and S8 refer to elements forming molecules, while O2 refers to a diatomic molecule. Polyatomic compounds consist of two or more different elements bonded together in a molecule.
Polyatomic ions are not compounds because they are not electrically neutral, and they are not elements because they can be broken down into other chemical constituents -- the actual elements.
The subscript outside the parentheses applies to all the elements within the polyatomic ion. It indicates how many of the entire polyatomic ion are present in the compound.
The pair of elements most likely to be part of a polyatomic ion is sulfur (S) and oxygen (O). This combination often forms polyatomic ions such as sulfate (SO4^2-) or sulfite (SO3^2-).
Elements do not contain polyatomic ions. Examples of substances that do not contain polyatomic ions include water (H2O), sodium chloride (NaCl), and oxygen gas (O2).
No, a polyatomic ion is a molecule composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded that carries a net charge. A molecule of dissimilar elements with a net charge is generally referred to as an ion, but not specifically as a polyatomic ion unless it contains multiple atoms of different elements.
Yes, MgSO4 does contain polyatomic ions. The sulfate ion (SO4^2-) is a polyatomic ion present in magnesium sulfate.
Good luck with that.
No, sulfur is not a polyatomic element. It is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. Polyatomic elements consist of multiple atoms of the same element bonded together, which is not the case for sulfur.
The polyatomic ion Au2Co3 does not exist. "Au2" represents two gold atoms, while "Co3" represents three cobalt atoms. These elements do not typically form polyatomic ions together.
Most polyatomic ions contain oxygen as one of the elements in their formula. This is because oxygen commonly forms stable ions with other elements.
