Memorize Polyatomic Ions Help

Learn how to memorize polyatomic ions using the memorable phrase "NICK the CAMEL ate a CLAM for SUPPER in PHOENIX." In this guide, each underlined letter signifies an element's symbol, while the consonants denote the number of oxygen atoms, and the vowels indicate the ion's negative charge. For instance, in NO3-, "N" represents nitrogen with three oxygen atoms and one negative charge (nitrate), while in PO4^3-, "P" represents phosphorus with four oxygen atoms and a charge of three (phosphate).
