Give an example of each of the following: (a) a monatomic cation, (b) a monatomic anion, (c) a polyatomic cation,(d) a polyatomic anion.

Answer and Explanation:

(a) MONATOMIC CATION: Monatomic cation are those cation in which only one atom is present

Example :

(b) MONATOMIC ANION : Monatomic anion are those cation in which only one atom is present

Example :

(C) Polyatomic Cation : Polyatomic cations are those cation which contains more than one atom

Example :

(C) Polyatomic Anion  : Polyatomic anions are those cation which  contains more than one atom

Example :

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
