Is there a way to remember polyatomic ions (i.e $\ce{PO4^{3-}}$, $\ce{SO4^{2-}}$ etc.). For example, our professor will ask on an exam what the equation for iron (III) carbonate. Obviously the (III) means iron has a 3+ oxidation state. However, if one was not too familiar with the number of oyxgens or charges on specific polyatomic ions, how would you know the symbol for carbonate ($\ce{CO3^{2-}}$)? She gives us a periodic table but I dont think that will help if you dont have carbonate memorized?
