Polyatomic Ions and Metal Reactivity Series

Vocabulary flashcards covering the polyatomic ions and metal activity series classifications from the lecture reference notes.

Polyatomic Ions

A designated classification in the chemistry reference table comprising multi-atom ions such as Ammonium, Cyanide, Acetate, and Sulfate.

Replace hydrogen from cold water

A metal reactivity classification noted in the activity series for the most reactive metals.

Replace hydrogen from steam

A metal reactivity level in the activity series indicated by the fragment 'place hydrogen from steam'.

Replace hydrogen from acids

A metal reactivity category identified in the reference notes by the fragment 'rogen from acids'.

Form oxides

A metal reaction property represented in the reference notes by the fragment 'o form oxides'.

Acetate

A polyatomic ion listed with the chemical formula notations $C_2H_2O_2$ and $(CH_3COO)$.

Ammonium

A polyatomic ion listed at the beginning of the polyatomic ions reference section.

Bromate

A halogen-derived polyatomic ion listed between Ammonium and Cyanide.

Cyanide

A polyatomic ion listed in the reference table between Bromate and Acetate.

Perchlorate, Chlorate, Chlorite, and Hypochlorite

A series of chlorine-based polyatomic ions listed sequentially in the reference table.

Iodate

An iodine-based polyatomic ion listed directly following Hypochlorite.

Permanganate

A manganese-containing polyatomic ion listed in the table between Iodate and Nitrate.

Nitrate and Nitrite

Two nitrogen-containing polyatomic ions listed consecutively in the reference notes.

Hydroxide

A polyatomic ion appearing in the reference table directly beneath Nitrite.

Hydrogen carbonate and Hydrogen sulfate

Two hydrogen-containing polyatomic anions listed sequentially in the reference table.

Thiocyanate

A polyatomic ion appearing directly after Hydrogen sulfate in the table.

Carbonate

A carbon-containing polyatomic ion listed directly after Thiocyanate.

Chromate and Dichromate

Chromium-containing polyatomic ions included in the polyatomic ion list.

Sulfate and Sulfite

Two sulfur-containing polyatomic ions listed consecutively above Phosphate.

Phosphate

A phosphorus-containing polyatomic ion listed near the conclusion of the polyatomic ions list.
