An ion is an atom with gained electrons (anion) or which losses electrons (cation).
An isotope of an element is an atom with a different number of neutrons but with the same number of protons and electrons. As any other atoms the atom of an isotope can gain or loss electrons.
What else can I help you with?
Ions are charged and isotopes are not true or false?
True. Isotopes are defined by the amount of neutral neutrons which have no effect on the polarity of the atom. ions are defined by a differing amount of protons and electrons, therefore charging them.
How do isotopes of nitrogen differ from nitrogen ions?
Isotopes of nitrogen have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, affecting their atomic mass. Nitrogen ions are charged particles of nitrogen that have either gained or lost electrons, making them either negatively or positively charged.
Are ions charged and isotopes not?
Ions are charged particles caused by the loss or gain of an electron moving the atom from its ground state to an excited state. an isotope is formed from the loss of a neutron.
Are ions and isotopes charged?
Not necessarily no, not strictly speaking, but it can be. An Ion is a charged particle. As an example SO42- is an ion. It is not a charged atom. It is a charged species formed from 5 atoms. A lone proton (H+ ) is a charged atom of hydrogen after it has been stripped of one electron. Cl- is an ion and in this case yes - it is a charged atom.
What are the ions and isotopes?
1. Ions are electrically charged atoms of an element; examples are H+, Ca2+, Y3+ etc. 1. Isotopes are atoms of the same element but having different number of neutrons in the nucleus: examples are hydrogen (protium), deuterium, tritium etc.
Is radioactive uranium positively charged?
No, uranium is not positively charged. Uranium is a chemical element with a neutral charge due to an equal number of protons and electrons. However, some isotopes of uranium are radioactive, meaning they can emit radiation as they undergo radioactive decay.
Are ions isotopes atoms the same thing?
No. Isotopes are a subset of atoms, for elements which have more than one isotope. The term isotope has meaning only in comparison to another atom with the same atomic number, while the more general term atom is not so limited. Ions differ from both of the others by being electrically charged.
Can radioactive isotopes be ions?
Probably not, no.
How many isotopes are in tin?
10 isotopes 10 isotopes
Charged atoms are called?
Charged atoms are called ions.
What do like charged ions do?
Like-charged ions repel each other. Opposite-charged ions attract each other.
Are isotopes charged?
Isotopes are not typically charged because they have the same number of protons as the element they represent. Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons but maintain the same overall charge due to an equal number of protons and electrons.
