These chemical species carry an extra electron, resulting in a negative charge.
Nomenclature for oxygen-containing examples of these entities dictates that the most prevalent species receives the suffix -ate, and the species with one fewer oxygen than that receives the suffix -ite. Oxygen-free examples of them include ferricyanide. Monatomic ones are typically referred to by the name of the atom and the suffix -ide, as in sulfide and fluoride. These chemical species carry an extra electron, resulting in a negative charge. For 10 points, identify these chemical species, which form ionic bonds with cations.
