You think probbable to diatomic molecules as O2, N2 or to the allotropes of P, S etc.
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.
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.
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.).
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.
An element.
no. Polyatomic means more than one atom, K+ is just the potassium 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.
An atom is the smallest unit. Anything polyatomic is not an atom.
The answer is : no.
Yes that is true Every atom of a given element does have the same number of protons.
Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.
monatomic Ion- contains one atom polyatomic ion- contains more than one atom
Yes. It is true. An atom with a different atomic number is an atom of a different element.
No, isotopes of the same element are of different weight.
The symbol for the ammonium ion is NH4+. It is a positively charged polyatomic ion composed of one nitrogen atom and four hydrogen atoms.
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.
