Solution

The correct answer is: an ion with more than one atom.

Here's why:

A complex ion is a species formed between a central metal atom and one or more surrounding ligands, molecules or ions that contain at least one lone pair of electrons. This means that a complex ion must have more than one atom.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Complex ions are not only found in compounds. They can also exist in solutions.
  • A single atom that has formed an ion is simply a monatomic ion, not a complex ion.
  • The size of the atom does not determine whether an ion is complex or not. It's about the number of atoms and the arrangement in the ion.
