As the number of oxygen atoms bound to chlorine increases, the chlorine's oxidation number becomes more positive. This gives rise to the following common pattern: first, the -ate ion is considered to be the base name; adding a per-prefix adds an oxygen, while changing the -ate suffix to -ite will reduce the oxygens by one, and keeping the suffix -ite and adding the prefix hypo-reduces the ...
The cation is always named first. Ions can be metals, non-metals or polyatomic ions. Therefore, the name of the metal or positive polyatomic ion is followed by the name of the non-metal or negative polyatomic ion. The positive ion retains its element name whereas for a single non-metal anion the ending is changed to -ide.
However when counting electrons, negative ions should have extra electrons placed in their Lewis structures; positive ions should have fewer electrons than an uncharged molecule. When the Lewis structure of an ion is written, the entire structure is placed in brackets, and the charge is written as a superscript on the upper right, outside the ...
An atom (or ion) whose oxidation number increases in a redox reaction is said to be oxidized (and is called a reducing agent). It is accomplished by loss of one or more electrons. The atom whose oxidation number decreases gains (receives) one or more electrons and is said to be reduced. This relation can be remembered by the following mnemonics.
The English word "isomer" (/ ˈ aɪ s əm ər /) is a back-formation from "isomeric", [2] which was borrowed through German isomerisch [3] from Swedish isomerisk; which in turn was coined from Greek ἰσόμερoς isómeros, with roots isos = "equal", méros = "part". [4] Two broad types of isomers

A number of aluminate oxyanions are known: The simplest is the approximately tetrahedral AlO 5− 4 found in the compound Na 5 AlO 4, [2] framework AlO − 2 ions in anhydrous sodium aluminate NaAlO 2 [3] and monocalcium aluminate, CaAl 2 O 4 made up of corner-sharing {AlO 4} tetrahedra. [4] A ring anion, the cyclic Al 6 O 18−
For polyhalogen anions with the same number of atoms, the more stable ones are those with a heavier halogen at the center, symmetric ions are also more stable than asymmetric ones. therefore the stability of the anions decrease in the order: [I 3] − > [IBr 2] − > [ICl 2] − > [I 2 Br] − > [Br 3] − > [BrCl 2] − > [Br 2 Cl] −
