Question

Write the differences between monoatomic ions and polyatomic ions with the help of examples. (With minimum 3 points and maximum 5 points)

Answer 1

A monatomic ion consists of a single atom that is ionized. For example Na+, Cl-, Fe+3, O-2. A polyatomic ion consists of several atoms bonded to each other, but acting as if it were one ion. ClO3-, NH3+, SO4-2, CO3-2.Monoatomic ions are single atoms having charge while polyatomic ions are group of atoms having charge named as “radicals”.Mono-atomic ions are atomic ions. Polyatomic ions are molecular ions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Monoatomic ions;-

i) an iron consists of only a single atom with a charge is called a monoatomic ion.

ii) it is also called simple ion.

iii) example- a sodium ion ( Na+) is a simple ion
