Monatomic ions, consist of a ____ atom
A
More than two
B
two
C
single
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A monatomic ion is an ion formed from a single atom. In other words, it is a single atom that has a different number of protons and electrons. The charge on the ion is the difference between the number of protons and electrons. If there are more protons, the charge is positive.

Detailed explanation-2: -A monatomic ion is an ion with only one atom. A monatomic ion is an ion made of exactly one atom. In other words, it is an atom that has an unequal number of protons and electrons. If there are more protons than electrons, the ion has a net positive charge and is a cation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ions made of a single atom are called simple ions or monatomic ions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monatomic ions can be positive or negative and just like magnets, oppositely charged ions will attract, and ions with the same charge will repel each other. A good way to remember this definition is to break the term monatomic ion into its component parts.
