Evidence boundary

The three ion symbols are taken from Mark Bishop's atoms-first chemistry textbook, Chapter 6, Exercise 6.1, printed page 237. The exercise asks only for names. This answer uses introductory inorganic naming conventions and does not infer additional ions, compounds, or laboratory results.
