Question

In the space below, show 3 metal ions combining with 3 different polyatomic ions. You must include 3 different ionic charges. Also, you must include at least one anion (negative ion) and one cation (positive ion). Label each polyatomic ion.

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

Three examples of metal ions combining with polyatomic ions are calcium carbonate (CaCO3), magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and aluminum phosphate (AlPO4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are three examples of metal ions combining with different polyatomic ions:

1. Ca^2+ ion combines with the CO3^2- ion to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
2. Mg^2+ ion combines with the SO4^2- ion to form magnesium sulfate (MgSO4)
3. Al^3+ ion combines with the PO4^3- ion to form aluminum phosphate (AlPO4)

Each example includes a different metal ion and a different polyatomic ion, with varying ionic charges.
