Monoatomic ions are essentially substances that have either gained (positive) or lost (negative) electron/s.

For example, Na+ represents a monatomic ion of sodium with a positive charge.

On the other hand, polyatomic ions have an electrical charge and two or more atoms that are covalently bonded.

One common example is the ammonium ion, NH4+. The ammonium ion consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms, and it carries a positive charge.
