What is the difference between a monatomic ion and a polyatomic ion?
A monoatomic ion has only one atom examples are chloride, Cl-, fluoride, F-, sodium Na+ A polyatomic ion has more than one, e.g sulfate SO42-, nitrate, NO3-, mercurous, Hg22+ Poly is from the Greek and means "many"
What do all of the polyatomic ions with the suffix -ate have in common?
Polyatomic ions ending in -ate in common form contain oxygen.
What element do most polyatomic ions contain?

SO4
Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of what?
Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.
Do salts have covalent bonds?
Salts are ionic. If they contain polyatomic ions,(e.g. NH4+ , SO42-.) There are covalent bonds inside these ions.

The ammonium ion, NH4+, and the nitrate ion, NO3-.
How are cations anions monoatomic ions and polyatomic ions the same and different?
Cations are positive ions (Fe2+, NH4+).Anions are negative ions (Cl-, (SO4)2-).Fe2+ is a monoatomic ion and (NH4)+ is a polyatomic Ion (contain more than one element).
Are a vast majority of polyatomic ions cations?
No. Most polyatomic ions are anions.
