General Chemistry. Notice only the number of oxygen atoms changed, the charge did not. The less electronegative part is assigned a positive number. In the case of V 2 O 5it could also be called vanadium V oxide. Further explanation of the roman numerals is in order. The stock system is used when there is a metallic element in the compound. This is an older prefix; it means the compound can both take up and lose a proton. If the substance is binary containing only two elementsthe suffix - ide is added to the second element. SeO 3 2 — — Selenate is SeO 4 Iodine is in the first column from the right-hand side so the charge on the polyatomic must be 1- or just .
The nomenclature, or naming, of ionic compounds is based on the names of the hypo- and per- prefixes are used in conjunction with the -ite and -ate suffixes.
Note that in a polyatomic ion, the ion itself is held together by covalent bonds The -ate suffix is used on the most common oxyanion (like sulfate SO or Sometimes there can be a hypo- prefix, meaning one oxygen atom fewer than for -ite.
A single atom with a charge is called a "simple ion" and a "polyatomic ion" is a group of atoms with a charge (OH- Negative ions end with "-ide", "-ate", or "-ite.
How about hypo chlor ite?

Note that in a polyatomic ionthe ion itself is held together by covalent bonds. Keep in mind that the roman numerals refer to the charge of the cation, not how many anions are attached. It is often replaced with the word hydrogen. There are 11 pending changes awaiting review. Sulfate is SO 4
-ite polyatomic ion has one less oxygen atom in its formula than the -ate ion. Note that there is a system for naming some polyatomic ions; -ate and -ite are suffixes designating polyatomic ions containing more or fewer oxygen atoms.
To get the first word we use the name of the first element, or the element to the left roman numeral is used after the metal to indicate which ion is using the charge.
Polyatomic compounds use a different suffix. Most of them end in "-ate" or "-ite".

If the ion ends in - ite then the acid will end in - ous. The charge must be balanced, so there would be one or two chloride ions to accept the electrons. The stock system is used when there is a metallic element in the compound. This does not, however, happen with di - and tri.
Wikipedia has related information at Polyatomic ion. Also, the common name is usually not recognized internationally.
These Latin-based names are outdated, so it's not important to learn them.

Many atoms especially the transition metals are capable of ionizing in more than one way.
Keep in mind that the roman numerals refer to the charge of the cation, not how many anions are attached.
Monoatomic cations positive are named the same way as their element, and they come first when naming a compound.
We can similarly predict sulfite and hyposulfite once we know the formula and charge of sulfate. The first uses prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of an element that are in the compound.
Depending on your course or instructor, you may need to memorize some of the following.
