No, an ion can be made up of one or more atoms; and is classed as an ion when there is a difference in the total number protons in the nucleus/nuclei of the atom/compound and the total number of electrons orbiting the atom ( /atoms if it's a compound.)

If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If the atom has more electrons than protons, then yes it is an ion.
When an atom has more electrons than protons it is?
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
What atom has more or less electrons than it has protons?
Ion
Is hydride ion more stable or less stable than H-atom?
hydried is more stable than H-atom
What is the atom with the most electrons than protons is called?
If you mean an atom with more electrons than protons it is called an ion. More specifically an anion (negatively charged)
What is the name for an ion that contains more than one type of element?

Which type of ions are charged substances that contains more than atom?
polyatomic ion
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If the atom has more electrons than protons, then yes it is an ion.
When an atom has more electrons than protons it is?
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
Is a negative ion larger or smaller than its parent atom?
Larger because a negative ion contains more electrons than its parent atom therefore it is larger. A positive ion would be smaller because it has less electrons than its parent atom.
A Mg atom differs from a Mg2 plus ion in that the Mg atom has?
The Mg atom has more electron than the Mg+2 ion.
Why is the chloride ion larger than the chloride atom?
The chloride ion is an anion, having one more electron than the chlorine atom.
