An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons, "cation - positive charge", "anion - negative charge". Gaining a charge causes the element to be more or less reactive.
An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Losing or gaining neutrons does not effect the overall charge, but it does affect the elements stability.

โ 16y agoAn atom is the smallest indivisible particle of matter, i.e. Something that cannot be divided consisting of protons, electrons and neutrons; protons and neutrons are present in nucleus,while Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons and the same atomic number, but different numbers of neutrons. Therefore, isotopes have different mass numbers, which give the total number of nucleons—the number of protons plus neutrons.

an isotope is when a element loses or gains one or more neutrons.
when one or more proton(s) is/are gained or lost, it becomes a different element.

โ 12y ago- Isotopes are different versions of the same elements due to different numbers of neutrons.
- Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but they have different structures formulas.
- Ions are atoms or molecules where the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons.

โ 11y agowhen 2 element form an ionic bond, which is where the electrons are taken from one element and given to another. when this bond is broken, the electrons don't return to their original element, so the result would positive or negative ions, the positive being with less electrons than protons and the negative being with more electrons. isotopes occur when an atom of an element has less or more neutrons than protons. this doesn't effect the charge of the atom but it makes the nucleus unstable and can cause radiation.

โ 11y agoAn anion is a negative ion, meaning a neutral atom has gained 1 or more electrons. An isotope is an atom with a different number of neutrons than normal. Isotopes can have more or less neutrons.

Is an atom of an element with a different number of neutrons called ion or isotope?
ion
Are isotopes of an element charged particles?
No, that's an ion. An isotope is an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons.
What is the difference between an ion and an isotope?
an ion has a different number of electrons and an isotope has a different number of neutrons then listed on the Periodic Table or your sample
What is an example of an atom of an element has properties that are very different from those of an ion of the same element?
its ion and atom properties differences is atom is like science ion-chemistry
How do you decide a element is a isotope or ion?
An isotope has a different number of neutrons and therefore a different atomic mass. An ion has a different number of electrons from protons and therefore carries an electric charge

What do an atom ion and isotope of an ion have in common?
they all have the same element with the same number

What is the difference between an atom an isotope and an ion?
an ion is when an element loses or gains one or more electrons. an isotope is when a element loses or gains one or more neutrons. when one or more proton(s) is/are gained or lost, it becomes a different element.
Is bromine an isotope ion or atom?
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
What are differences between ions and isotopes?
An ion is an atom with an electrical charge, positive or negative.An isotope of chemical element is an atom having a different number of neutrons.
Is bromine isotope or ion or neutral atom?
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
Are ions charged and isotopes are not?
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.
Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
