No. BaSO4 is an ionic compound, which CONSISTS of a polyatomic ion and a monoatomic ion. A polyatomic ion is an ion (a charged atom or molecule) that has more than one atom and the net charge is distributed amongst the entire ion; poly-, meaning more than one, and -atomic, meaning atom. A monoatomic ion is simply a charged atom. In the case of BaSO4, Ba2+ is a monoatomic ion, and (SO4)2- is the POLYATOMIC ion.
