  1. @C00907@ (with their @C01371@) derived by addition of a @H02904@ to a mononuclear @P04405@ of the nitrogen, chalcogen and halogen families.
    (H4N+) ammonium
    (H3O+) oxonium
    (H2F+) fluoronium
    (H4P+) phosphonium
    (H3S+) sulfonium
    (H2Cl+) chloronium
    (H4As+) arsonium
    (H3Se+) selenonium
    (H2Br+) bromonium
    (H4Sb+) stibonium
    (H3Te+) telluronium
    (H2I+) iodonium
    (H4Bi+) bismuthonium
  2. Derivatives formed by substitution of the above parent ions by univalent groups. The number of substituted hydrogen atoms is, especially in the case of @H02891@ substituents, indicated by the adjectives primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary. E.g. (Cl2F+) dichlorofluoronium, (CH3)2S+H dimethylsulfonium (a secondary sulfonium ion), Cl(CH3)3P+ chlorotrimethylphosphonium, (CH3CH2)4N+ tetraethylammonium (a quaternary ammonium ion).
