The word subatomic refers to something that comprises an atom. Examples of these include protons, neutrons, and electrons. Ions are just charged atoms, so no, they are not subatomic, unless you are talking about Hydrogen, which generally has one electron and one proton.

How does an atom change to a negatively charged ion what happens to the subatomic partieles?
An atom becomes negatively charged when it gains an electron. However, nothing happens to the subatomic particles.
How are an Ion and electron different?
an electron is a subatomic particle which every atom has. an ion is a charged particle (Ca2+ or Na+) It has one or more electrons than the number of protons...
Is a positive proton different than a positive ion?
A positive ion is a type of atom with less electrons than usual. A proton is a subatomic particle that makes up atoms.
