The chemical formula that represents a polyatomic ion is **ClO–**.
Polyatomic ions are ions that consist of two or more atoms bonded together, which function as a single ion. In this case, ClO– is the hypochlorite ion, which contains both chlorine and oxygen atoms. The other options represent either monatomic ions (Cl– and Na+) or a neutral compound (NaCl).
