Monatomic ion

A monatomic ion (also called simple ion[1][2]) is an ion consisting of exactly one atom. If an ion contains more than one atom, even if these are of the same element, it is called a polyatomic ion.[3] For example, calcium carbonate consists of the monatomic ion Ca2+ and the polyatomic ion CO2−

A type I binary ionic compound contains a metal (cation) that forms only one type of ion. A type II ionic compound contains a metal that forms more than one type of ion, i.e., ions with different charges.
