consist of more than one atom. For example, nitrate ion, NO3-, contains one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms. The atoms in a polyatomic Ion are usually covalently bonded to one another, and therefore stay together as a single, charged unit.
some known examples of polyatomic molecules are: O3, P4, S8 etc. ... Anything that consists of two or more atoms is called molecular, for example oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), ozone (O3), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), benzene (C6H6), and way bigger like rotaxane or proteins or polymers.
