This document lists common polyatomic ions and their charges, along with some monatomic ions for comparison. It includes ions like ammonium (NH4+), hydronium (H3O+), hydroxide (OH-), phosphate (PO43-), sulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), and others that are important for students to memorize from chemistry. A note at the bottom indicates that the colored polyatomic ions should be committed to memory from Table 7.9 of the referenced chemistry book.
