You think probbable to diatomic molecules as O2, N2 or to the allotropes of P, S etc.

What is a poly atomic atom?

Nothing. The term "polyatomic atom" would mean an atom made up of two or more atoms and so is self-contradictory. A polyatomic ion is a charge particle composed of multiple atoms covalently bonded together in much the same way as they are in molecules.


Is an oxyacid composed of a hydrogen atom bonded to a polyatomic anion?

Yes, an oxyacid is composed of a hydrogen atom bonded to a polyatomic anion that contains oxygen. The presence of the hydrogen atom gives the acid its acidic properties, while the polyatomic anion typically includes oxygen and another element, such as sulfur or nitrogen. Common examples of oxyacids include sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and nitric acid (HNO₃).


The number of electrons in an atom of an element is the same as the element's?

The number of electrons in an atom of an element is the same as the element's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which also equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom.


What are the similarities of polyatomic ions and monatomic ions?

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.).


Atomic number is the same as the number of?

The atomic number is the same as the number of protons in an element. It is sometimes also the same as the number of electrons depending on the charge of the element.

Is sulfur a polyatomic element?

No, sulfur is not a polyatomic element. It is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. Polyatomic elements consist of multiple atoms of the same element bonded together, which is not the case for sulfur.

What is the symbol for the element ammonium?

The symbol for the ammonium ion is NH4+. It is a positively charged polyatomic ion composed of one nitrogen atom and four hydrogen atoms.


Is it true that every atom of the same element has the same atomic number?

Yes. It is true. An atom with a different atomic number is an atom of a different element.


Do atom of the same element have same weight?

No, isotopes of the same element are of different weight.


What does each atom have a unique number?

Each element has a unique number of protons. If another atom has the same number of protons as that element, it is the same element.
