∙ 9y ago
Anions and cations are ions of a single atom of a single element (i.e. Lithium+1, Fluorine-1, etc.). Polyatomic ions are charged particles composed of multiple atoms of different elements (i.e. Nitrate (NO3)-1, Ammonium (NH4)+1, etc.).

∙ 13y agoPolyatomic Ions have 2 or more types of atoms in them. Monatomic Ions have ONLY ONE type of atom in them.

∙ 11y agoSimilarity: all are ions.
Difference: a monoatomic ion contain only one atom (ex: Na+), a polyatomic ion contain two or more atoms (NO-3).

Do ions consist of more than one atom?
Yes; polyatomic ions, such as nitrate, ammonium, etc.
What are single ions called?
Ions that consist of a single atom are called monatomic ions
Is carbonate ion a monatomic ion?
No. The carbonate is a polyatomic ion with the formula CO32-
What do all of the polyatomic ions with the suffix -ate have in common?
Polyatomic ions ending in -ate in common form contain oxygen.
Are polyatomic ions positively charged?
Most polyatomic ions have a negative charge. There are only 2 positive polyatomic ions; Mercury(I) ion and Ammonium ion. False.
What are the similarities and differences between polyatomic monatomic ions?
They both are charged particles. However, a monatomic ion forms from a single atom, while polyatomic ions are formed from a group of atoms of more than one element that are covalently bonded.
Do ions consist of more than one atom?
Yes; polyatomic ions, such as nitrate, ammonium, etc.
Does MgSO4 contain polyatomic ions?
Yes. Mg2+ is a monatomic ion, but SO42- is a polyatomic ion composed of two elements, sulfur and oxygen.
Do monatomic ions consist of more than one atom?
no it only has one atom, but a polyatomic ions have more than one.
What are the similarities between polyatomic monoatomic ions?
All ions have an electrical charge.
What are single ions called?
Ions that consist of a single atom are called monatomic ions
What are the 2 kinds of ions?
There are at least two reasonable answers to this question: anions and cations or monatomic and polyatomic.
Do monatomic ions consist of more then one atom?
No. A monatomic ions consists of just one atom.A polyatomic ion is made up of more than one.hint:mono=1poly= more than one.
What formula for a compound has monatomic and polyatomic ions present?
The answers have to be include monatomic and plyatomic ions present and ratio between positive and negative ions is one to two, and a group IIA element that loses one half of its total electrons upon ion formation is present, and the sum of the atomic numbers for the two elements involved in the polyatomic ion is 13.
Which polyatomic ion forms a neutrak compound when combined with a group 1A monatomic ion in a 1 1 ratio?
Since Group 1A monatomic ions have a charge of 1+, only a polyatomic ion with a charge of 1- can combine to form a compound in which the monatomic ions and polyatomic ions are present in a 1 to 1 ratio. The following polyatomic ions with a charge of 1- can form a neutral compound when combined with a group of 1A monatomic ion in a 1 to 1 ratio.acetate - C2H3O2-bicarbonate (or hydrogen carbonate) - HCO3-bisulfate (or hydrogen sulfate) - HSO4-chlorate - ClO3-chlorite - ClO2-cyanate - OCN-cyanide - CN-dihydrogen phosphate - H2PO4-hydroxide - OH-nitrate - NO3-nitrite - NO2-perchlorate - ClO4-permanganate - MnO4-thiocyanate - SCN- Source: http://chemistry.about.com/od/chartstables/tp/common-polyatomic-ions.htm
What is the name for an ion that contains more than one type of element?
monatomic Ion- contains one atom polyatomic ion- contains more than one atom
When does the end of a name of a negative ion in -ide?
Anions end in -ide if they are monatomic. Example: chlorine becomes "chloride." Polyatomic ions will have different suffixes.
