A monoprotic acid is one that has just one ionizable proton on it. Examples include:
HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HCN and nearly all of the organic acids.
Ethanoic acid (aka acetic acid) CH3COOH have just one proton, the one attached to oxygen, as an ionizable one.

Monoprotic acid is an acid (often represented by the generic formula HA) is traditionally considered any chemical compound that, when dissolved in water, gives a solution with a pH of less than 7.0. That approximates the modern definition of Brønsted and Lowry, who defined an acid as a compound which donates a hydrogen ion (H+) to another compound (called a base). Common examples include acetic acid (in vinegar) and sulfuric acid (used in car batteries).

What is a monoprotic acid? An acid that donates 1 H+ ion. ... What is meant by the term "pH"? pH is a means of measuring the acid-base strength of solutions.

It is an acid that can donate one and only one proton, a proton being an H+ ion. Some examples:
acetic acid CH3COOH (only the H at the end can be donated)
nitric acid HNO3

A monoprotic acid is an acid that can only donate one hydrogen ion in a reaction. ie.HCl
HCl + H2O > H3O+ + Cl-
There are also polyprotic acids that can donate more then one hydrogen ion. ie. H2SO4
H2SO4 + H2O > H3O+ + HSO4-
HSO4- + H2O > H3O+ + SO42-
