Err - no.

A mono jack has two connections, tip and sleeve.  A Stereo jack has
three connections, tip, ring and sleeve.  In bot cases the sleeve is
ground.  The signal is on the tp, or tip and ring.

Placing a mono plug in a stereo socket either shorts the ring to 
sleeve, or the sleeve floats, depending on the socket design.

To feed a mono signal into a stereo socket connect the tip and ring 
together, and the ground goes to sleeve
