Polyatomic Ions

During the nomenclature unit, I successfully memorized all 22 polyatomic ion names and their matching formulas. I was able to accomplish this by making flashcards and reviewing them many times, alternating which side of the card I looked at. Knowing these ions off the top of my head is very useful when it comes to naming acids. Also, we will be using the polyatomic ions throughout the whole entire rest of the year, so having all of them memorized will be very helpful.
