Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
The two different types of ions are cations and anions. Cations are positively charged ions, formed when an atom loses one or more electrons. Anions are negatively charged ions, formed when an atom gains one or more electrons. This charge difference occurs due to the imbalance between the number of protons and electrons in the atoms.
Ions made up of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.
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.
polyatomic ions
This relationship is for an atom and its ion.
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.
This is not a general valid rule; ions have a different number of electrons.
ions like sulphate ions,carbonate ions etc...are the ions which contain more than one atom.
When electrons are lost from an atom, positively charged ions are formed. These ions are called cations.
no it only has one atom, but a polyatomic ions have more than one.
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
Ions that consist of a single atom are called monatomic ions
