    This document provides a helpful guide for remembering common polyatomic ions and their charges. It lists many polyatomic ions along with their charges. For ions containing oxygen, sulfur, or carbon, the rules are that ions will have a -2 charge if they contain 2 oxygens, a -1 charge if they contain 3 oxygens, and a 1+ charge for ammonium. Other common charges seen are -1 for ions like cyanide or nitrite, -2 for sulfate or sulfite, and -3 for phosphate or arsenite. Memorizing the patterns in this guide will help recall the charges of many polyatomic ions.
