Document Summary
The ite" anions are formed from the ate" anions by removing one oxygen. Not all the ate" anions have ite" counterparts. Some elements are able to combine with oxygen and form a range of oxo anions. When this happens the prefix of the anion changes. If there is one more oxygen than the ate" anion, use the prefix per. If there is one less oxygen than the ite" anion, use the prefix hypo. Name of compound: calcium cyanide, aluminum hydroxide, ammonium sulfate, potassium bicarbonate, cesium perchlorate, zinc nitrite, magnesium hypochlorite, lithium bisulfate or lithium hydrogen sulfate, sodium hydroxide, barium phosphite, copper(ii) sulfite, ammonium chlorite. Nh4+ ammonium cation (note: the only nonmetal cation we will use) Hco3- hydrogen carbonate or bicarbonate or acid carbonate.
