Ion Chart 2020

The document lists common cations and anions, categorizing them into monatomic and polyatomic groups. Monatomic cations from Groups 1, 2, and 13 have names identical to their elements, while monatomic anions from Groups 15, 16, and 17 take names with an –ide ending. Additionally, it details transition metal cations and exceptions, along with polyatomic anions and cations that require memorization.
