Some natural chemical elements are stable, some are not stable; all the artificial elmemets are unstable. Also be sure that several natural elements have stable and unstable isotopes.

How are ions different from Atom?
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?
All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.
What does it mean when an atom is both stable and neutral?
An atom of an element for example Neon (Ne) is neutral (no positive or negative charge as it has 8 electrons in the outer shell) and is very stable. It is a noble gas because the outer electron shell is filled which makes it largely chemically inert, and it is stable because it's usual isotope does not undergo nuclear decay. Most of the 92 naturally occurring elements, in their most abundant isotope, are stable.
What group of atoms on the periodic table is stable and therefore do not undergo ionization?
Group 18, starting with Helium
What has all atoms the same?
All stable Atoms have the same neutral charge, and cannot be divided into smaller units while retaining their chemical identity
How many p electrons are in the outer shell of all neutral atoms in group 14 of the periodic table?
2
Why are a neutral atoms positive and negative charges balanced?
For the atom to be neutral, the positive and negative charges must cancel each other out.
What are elemental ions?
In the Periodic Table of elements you have elements, these elements represent neutral atoms of elements, ions are just like neutral atoms, the only difference is the have less or more electrons in the orbital. So Na is sodium atom and Na+ is sodium ion
Are atoms more stable as elements or compounds?
Unless it is an element that has a full valence shell naturally - like neon, krypton, etc. - atoms are incredibly unstable. When a compound is formed the atoms either share or exchange electrons in order to completely fill their valence shells.

How many valence electrons does a neutral atom of silicon have?
A neutral atom of silicon will have 4 valence electrons. The amount of valence electrons that a neutral atom will have can be found by the atoms group number in the periodic table.
How many Isotopes does Zinc Have?
Zinc has 5 stable isotopes (64, 66, 67, 68, and 70), all of which are neutral atoms at standard temperature and pressure. Zinc has many more isotopes that are radioactive, but these too are usually neutral atoms.
What has all the same?
All stable Atoms have the same neutral charge, and cannot be divided into smaller units while retaining their chemical identity
