Can someone link me a complete list of all the polyatomic and monatomic ions?

Question

I'm basically starting college next year as a chem major (and yes am actually studying during summer) and i want to have EVERYTHING simple memorized already (IE: the ions and polyatomic ions from general AP chem). Is there a list somewhere online that like has all the ions on it that maybe the average chem major graduate knows all of? thanks

Look to the lower right of the menu, under Miscellaneous. The list is an average one given to high schoolers. There isn't any standard listing that a chem major knows.



Here's a search:

Perhaps there are some links in there that would be helpful.



For additional study, here's my main menu:

Try kentchemistry.com



Also, look for videos. Try Kahn Academy.



Best wishes in your studies.

Complete List Of Polyatomic Ions

Answer 3

Within organic chemistry there are an infinite number of polyatomic ions because there are an infinite number of compounds. On any compound you can just add a carboxylate group and it's an anion, add an ammonium group and it's a cation.



For inorganic compounds it would be more helpful to memorize major oxidation states.

Answer 4

the elements mostly go by groups, group 1 = 1+, 2 = 2+...7 = 1-, 6 = 2-, etc.
