What is Monovalent? Definition, Examples, and Functions

Monovalent refers to something that has a single valence, or a single charge. In chemistry, a monovalent ion is an ion with a single negative charge (such as H+, Na+, or Cl-). A monovalent molecule is a molecule that has a single bond between two atoms, such as H2 or O2.

In general, the term "monovalent" is used to describe something that has a single value or a single characteristic, as opposed to something that has multiple values or characteristics. For example, a monovalent function in mathematics is a function that takes a single input and returns a single output.
