What is the difference between a binary ionic compound and a ternary ionic compound?

Back

A binary ionic compound consists of two elements, typically a metal and a non-metal, while a ternary ionic compound contains three or more elements, usually including a polyatomic ion.

Front

What is a polyatomic ion?

Back

A polyatomic ion is a charged entity composed of two or more atoms bonded together, which can be treated as a single unit in chemical reactions.

How do you determine the oxidation state of an element in a compound?

Back

The oxidation state can be determined by using known oxidation states of other elements in the compound and applying the rule that the sum of oxidation states in a neutral compound must equal zero.
