There's no mess with soil or compost - all you need is a jar and an airing cupboard to grow Chinese bean sprouts, also known as mung beans, which may not be as long as the ones you buy in supermarkets, but they'll be just as tasty.
Best Answer: Polyatomic: The only difference between a polyatomic ion and a normal ion is that a polyatomic ion is composed of more than one elements. The elements are chemically bonded and have an overall net charge like a normal ion.
Many other diatomic molecules consist of two elements. In fact, most elements form diatomic molecules, particularly at higher temperatures. Past a certain temperature, however, all molecules break into their constituent atoms. The noble gases do not form diatomic molecules. Diatomic molecules consisting of two different elements are called heteronuclear molecules.
