Answer:

Hi

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

No, the term itself means the substance contains a single atom but it’s essential for a substance to have at least 2 elements to be considered a compound.
