Title: What is the difference between monatomic and polyatomic ions? Post by: linda on Sep 16, 2012 What is the difference between monatomic and polyatomic ions?
Title: What is the difference between monatomic and polyatomic ions? Post by: lewywong on Sep 16, 2012 Monoatomic are single elements. Mono- the prefix means one.
Polyatomic are chemicals usually found on the back of periodic tables such as: NitrATE CarbonATE NitrITE. Title: What is the difference between monatomic and polyatomic ions? Post by: fistpumporgy on Sep 16, 2012 When an atom loose electrons or gains electrons it become a mono atomic ion. But in some cases the central atom of an atom group lose or gains electrons this will results poly atomic ions( we call it as radicals)
Title: What is the difference between monatomic and polyatomic ions? Post by: linazss on Sep 16, 2012 MONO ATOMIC ION S;;------the ion which has only one atom e. g.
Cl-1 , O--2 , Al+3 , Fe+3 , Mn+2 Co+2 ,, Ni+2 BUT POLYATOMIC IONS;;---- the ion which has more than one atom e,. g. CO3-2 , PO4-3. MnO4-1 , MnO4-2 .,SO4-2 , C2O4_2 ,,CH3COO-1 Title: What is the difference between monatomic and polyatomic ions? Post by: lexii232 on Sep 16, 2012 when an ion contains only one atom the ion is mono[means one] atomic as H+,02-,Fe2+,Na1+ etc
when an ion have more than one[2,3,4 etc] atoms it is polyatomic as,OH- as it contains one O atom and one H atom with a total of 2 atoms. NO3- Has a total =1+3=4atoms hence it is also a polyatomic[tetra atomic] ion. CH3COO-[acetate] is an another poly[hepta=7]atomic ion. |
