How would you distinguish an isotope from a neutral element?
1. An atom is neutral because hasn't an electrical charge. 2. An ion has an electrical charge, positive or negative.
Is chromium a ion neutral or isotope?
A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.
Is an atom of an element with a different number of neutrons called ion or isotope?
ion
Is lithium an isotope ion or neutral atom?
Lithium is two of these but at the same time neither. It's an element. It is best described as an element, a type of atom with unique properties. If the number of neutrons varied, the multiple lithium atoms would be called isotopes. As for neutral vs. ion, if the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, it is neutral. If it is not, it is an ion, specifically anion (less protons) or cation (more protons). It will always be a neutral atom or ion. It will always be an isotope, but only called so when in a group of lithium atoms with various numbers of neutrons.
Is Pb a cation or anion?
Pb is the elemental symbol for lead. In this form, lead is neither a cation or an anion - it is neutral. However, lead acts like a metal and when it becomes an ion, it tends to form a cation by giving up electrons and becoming positively charged.
When an atom of phosphorus becomes a phosphide ion p3 the radius?
When an element from anions, the radius of the ion increases when compared to that of the neutral atom. The same is the true for the element (phosphorus) and its anion (phosphide ion).
How would you distinguish an isotope from a neutral element?
1. An atom is neutral because hasn't an electrical charge. 2. An ion has an electrical charge, positive or negative.
Is bromine isotope or ion or neutral atom?
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
Is chromium a ion neutral or isotope?
A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.
Is a aluminum an isotope ion or neutral atom?
An alumimium atom is electrically neutral and it is an isotope of aluminum.
Is an atom of an element with a different number of neutrons called ion or isotope?
ion
Is helium an isotope atom or ion?
Helium is a neutral atom that has several isotopes and can become an ion.
Is nitrogen an neutral atom or an ion?
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
Is Xenon a Ion?
No, it is a neutral element.

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