NOTE:
"The anion with one fewer oxygen atom than the (root)ate anion is named with -ite on the end of the root. ClO2− is chlorite."

Okay so I think it is -ite but I do easily get confused on this 1 less or just less ideas and I was looking it up on the web and came to the conclusion of -ite
If an oxyanion has two forms, which suffix does the form with fewer atoms get?
-ate
-hypo
-per
-ite
