Refer to the list of polyatomic lons. Pay attention to these pairs of lons:
• chlorate and chlorite
• nitrate and nitrite
• sulfate and sulfite
From what you observe, what can you infer is the relationship between the formula of an lon whose name ends with -ate
and the formula of the corresponding lon whose name ends with -ite?
The lon that ends with -ate has one more negative charge than the lon that ends with -ite.
O The lon that ends with -ate has one more oxygen atom than the lon that ends with -/te.
O The lon that ends with -/te has one more hydrogen atom than the lon that ends with -ate.
The lon that ends with -/te has one more negative charge than the lon that ends with -ate.
