But from a theoretical point of view it has no sense to compare monoatomic anions with polyatomic anions. We have thus to compare the halogen ions and find then for all three proteins the same sequences... 

We ve already seen some examples of elements that form monatomic anions. The most common are halogens. There are also several polyatomic anions that we will encounter often in this book. Those listed in Table 2.6 are the most common anions that we will see throughout the text. 

In a polyhalide ion two or more halogen atoms are covalently bonded into a polyatomic anion, e.g., 13 .
