By the number of electrons.
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
by the atomic number which determines the number of protons. a stable atom will have an equal number of electrons as protons. if there are more or less, it is an ion

When an atom gets charged it is called ion.
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
It is used to determine the electron configuration of an atom, molecule or ion.
It is used to determine the electron configuration of an atom, molecule or ion.
An acid has to have a positive charge on a atom or molecule delivering the acid, Therefore any atom with a charge is an ion and it is a electrolyte because any solution that has free ion is determine as an electrolyte.

The loss or gain of electrons transform an atom in an ion.
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
If the number of protons and neutrons are the same, its an atom, if not its an ion
