They both are charged particles. However, a monatomic ion forms from a single atom, while polyatomic ions are formed from a group of atoms of more than one element that are covalently bonded.
similarities -- all are forms of carbon differences -- because of the structures of the bonds of the carbon atoms, they have different properties
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
why atoms of group 0 elements do not form ions
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).

it has both atoms as well as ions.
Charged atoms are called ions.
Milk contains both atoms and ions.
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
Both are formed from atoms. A compound cannot be divided in atoms by physical procedures.The mixture being formed from compounds can be divided in compounds by physical procedures.
similarities
The difference between atoms and ions is that the ion is the same as an atoms that has either gained or lost one or more electrons. Examples: Na is an atom, and it loses 1 electron to become the ion Na+. Cl is an atom, and it gains 1 electron to become the ion Cl-
When you ask for similarities and differences, you must have a second target to compare to.
