Question

A sodium ion is a monoatomic ion.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Ions:

• When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes a charged particle, these charged species are called ions.
• Ions are of two types: cation and anion.
• The positively charged species are called cations(Na⁺) and negatively charged species (Cl^-) are called anions.
• Ions are also monoatomic as well as polyatomic.
• An ion that consists of only a single atom with a charge is called a monoatomic ion.
• For example, sodium ion Na⁺ is a monoatomic ion

Therefore, the statement a sodium ion is a monoatomic ion is true.
