Amonatomic ion(also calledsimple ion[1][2]) is anionconsisting of exactly one atom. If, instead of being monatomic, an ion contains more than one atom, even if these are of the same element, it is called apolyatomic ion.[3]For example, calcium carbonate consists of the monatomiccationCa2+and the polyatomicanionCO2−
3;bothpentazenium(N+5) andazide(N−3) are polyatomic as well.
