A binary compound is a chemical compound made up solely of 2 elements, for example P2O5, Na2O KCl. (The bonding is not relevant- it could be covalent or ionic.)
A polyatomic ion is a cation or anion that contains more than one atom. Most contain 2 different elements. For example
- polyatomic anions:- [SO4]2-, [NO3]-
- polyatomic cation:-[ NH4]+ , [Hg2]2+
