The clue for ION had been [Monatomic or polyatomic atom], but “polyatomic atom” is a contradictory phrase. Ions are atoms with net electric charges, so it’s not uncommon to see “atom” in ...

such as diatomic and triatomic molecules which each have two or three atoms. Polyatomic molecules, on the other hand, are much more complex and have proven much more difficult to manipulate ...

Bonding, Part II: Students learn to draw electron dot diagrams for atoms and Lewis structures for molecules. Single, double, and triple bonds are defined. Polyatomic ions are described ...

Polyatomic Gases: Gases composed of molecules with multiple atoms, whose internal degrees of freedom (e.g. rotation, vibration) significantly affect their thermodynamic properties. Maximum Entropy ...
