Respuesta :

Answer:

NH₄Cl, Magnesium sulfate, KCN

Explanation:

Determine whether the given compound name or formula contains a polyatomic ion.

  • NH₄Cl. YES. It contains the polyatomic ion ammonium NH₄⁺.
  • Magnesium sulfate. YES.  It contains the polyatomic ion sulfate SO₄²⁻.
  • Sodium phosphide Na₃P. NO.
  • SO₃. NO.
  • Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)₂. NO.
  • KCN. YES. It contains the polyatomic ion cyanide CN⁻.

The given compound involves a polyatomic ion while the others do not:

NH₄Cl

[tex]MgSO_{4}[/tex]

Potassium Cyanide

What is a polyatomic ion?

A polyatomic ion is characterized as the set or group of atoms that contain a covalent bond.

As per the question, the compounds that involve polyatomic ions would be [tex]NH_{4} Cl[/tex], [tex]MgSO_{4}[/tex], and Potassium Cyanide.

While the others include [tex]Na_{3}P[/tex], [tex]SO_{3}[/tex], and  [tex]Ca(OH)_{2}[/tex] do not involve polyatomic ions.
