| Jun 16, 2015 at 10:26 | comment | added | orthocresol | I'm actually not sure about this, at first I thought it would be something to do with the group oxidation number since nitrate, sulfate and phosphate all feature the central ion in its group oxidation number. But chlorate ($\ce{ClO3^-}$) begs to differ. I guess, as with lots of chemical nomenclature, it may just be due to "historical reasons". Hope someone else can give a better answer. | |
