An atom is the smallest particle of a chemical element that retains its chemical properties. A molecule is the smallest amount of a substance that consists of a number of atoms of the same or of different elements.

∙ 9y agoAn ion is not part of an atom or molecule. Ions are atoms or molecules that have become electrically charged (positive or negative) by having lost or gained one or more electrons.

∙ 10y agoKind of, when they are joined in a lattice they are, but on their own they are just ions (atoms with a positive charge)
... I think xD
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoAn ion is an electrically-charged particle. It can have a positive or negative charge, and it can be an atom or a molecule.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoAn ion is NOT a particle within an atom. So, it is NOT a subatomic particle. An ion is at atom or group of atoms that has either gained or lost an electron or electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo. It is an atom or a molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons.

What is the initial cause of the dissociation of water molecules into hydrogen and hydroxide ions?
hydrolysis
Can a positively charge hydrogen ends of water molecules attract chloride ions?
chloride ions have a negative charge... hydrogen ions have a positive charge... positive and negative means attraction
What is a particulate level?
The realm of unseen atoms, molecules, and ions in contrast to observable macroscopic entities.
How many TOTAL ions (barium cations plus acetate anions) would be produced as aqueous species in the water solvent if four molecules of barium acetate dissolved?
Eight ions are in the solution.
How does aqueous ammonium sulfate precipitate proteins?
Water molecules bind to ammonium and sulfate ions rather than proteins.
What differentiates molecules from ions?
Molecules are electrically neutral. Ions have electric charges.
How do ions become molecules?
Ions and molecules are the results of two different types of bonds. Ions are the result of ionic bonds and molecules are the result of covalent bonds.
What is a substance containing molecules and ions?
Water: H2O molecules, H+ and OH- ions
What are the three parts of a bond?
The three parts of a bond is atoms, molecules, and ions. The three parts of a bond is atoms, molecules, and ions. The three parts of a bond is atoms, molecules, and ions.
How are molecules different than ions or atoms?
Molecules have no net electric charge; ions do.
How do water molecules dissolves a salt?
The water molecules move around the salt ions In water, the salt separates into positive and negative ions.
Can liquid electrolyte which does not have sodium molecules conduct sodium ions?
no liquid electrolyte which does not have sodium molecules conduct sodium ions because when liquid electrolyte does not have sodium molecules . so there r no sodium molecules and hence there r no any sodium ions. so how can liquid electrolyte conduct sodium ions.
What is hydrated ions?
Hydrated ions contain water molecules inside their crystalline structure. They are not chemically bonded to the water molecules.
Which substances passes most readily into a cell ions large molecules glucose carbon dioxide or polar molecules?
Ions
Are molecules larger than ions?
molecules generally larger or smaller than ions
Are chlorite ions made of molecules?
No.
Why a strong aqueous acid produces many ions but few molecules?
The acid is dissociated in water in ions and doesn't produce molecules.
