So polyatomic ions are several atoms covalently bonded to one another but having a positive or negative charge because the total number of valence electrons from the atoms cannot produce a stable structure. with one or more electrons added or removed, a stable structure results.
example: nitrate
knowing this, why do compounds need to be neutral while polyatomic ions not. why don't compounds follow the same strategy as polyatomic ions such that they add or remove electrons to make themselves stable?

One of the hopes for solving the world's energy problem is to make use of the fusion reaction 21h +31h --> 42he + 10n + energy how much energy is released when 1 mol of deuterium is fused with 1 mol of tritium according to the above reaction? the masses of the atoms and the neutrons are as follows: 21h = 2.0140 amu 31h = 3.01605 amu 42he = 4.002603 amu 10n = 1.008665 amu. the speed of light is 2.9979 x 108 m/s.
