What else can I help you with?
Can an isotope also be an ion?
Yes, an isotope can also be an ion. An isotope is a variant of an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, while an ion is an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of electrons.
What is the difference between an ion and an isotope?
an ion has a different number of electrons and an isotope has a different number of neutrons then listed on the Periodic Table or your sample
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 silver a ion or a isotope?
It can be both.
What a ion?
An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.
A hydronium ion is actually a water molecule bonded to what ion?
The hydronium ion is a water molecule bonded to a hydrogen ion (H+). This bond forms when a water molecule donates a proton to another water molecule, creating the hydronium ion (H3O+).
Is an atom of an element with a different number of neutrons called ion or isotope?
ion
Is a aluminum an isotope ion or neutral atom?
An alumimium atom is electrically neutral and it is an isotope of aluminum.
What do an atom ion and isotope of an ion have in common?
they all have the same element with the same number
What do you call an atom that is both an ion and an isotope?
You call it an ion of that isotope. Let's use carbon-14 for example. If a carbon-14 atom gains/loses an electron, you simply call it a "carbon-14 ion".
Is an polar molecule an ion?
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
How does hydronium ion form?
when a water molecule gains an hydrogen ion from another water molecule
