because the species have the same m/z value (mass to charge ratio)
Hypothetically speaking, this has to do with the molecular bonding of ions between the two compounds. i may be off a little bit.
KMnO4 is an ionic compound with K+ and MnO4- ions. The permanganate, MnO4-, ion can be considered as a coordination complex between Mn7+ and four O2- ions- , with the O2- tetrahedrally coordinated around the manganese .
polyatomic ions are those ions which carry more than one atom,we can say that a group of atoms having single charge( which may be positive or negative) are polyatomic ions.
