Talk:Polyatomic ion

There are no chemists that call polyatomic ions "radicals." A radical is something completely different.

You're wrong. See: http://www.alta.jordan.k12.ut.us/Alta2/departments/science/vose/ALTA%20CHEMISTRY%20PAGE/POLYATOMIC%20ION.pdf --Aschlafly 17:20, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Ion vs. Molecule

There is a difference, Molecules are neutral with a net charge of 0 where as Ions contain charges. Perhaps you were thinking about compounds, which can either be an ion or molecule; however a compound is two or more different elements.--Able806 10:28, 6 January 2009 (EST)
