If you think to atoms they are similar. But in compounds atoms can form ions.
When halogens form ions, they are called halide ions. These types of ions have a negative charge due to gaining electrons.
Correct: ''the atoms of the element X are isoelectronic with the ions of the element Y".
Not ions, but isotopes.
atoms that belong to a metal element....because metals always loose electrons and gain a positive charge..!
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
Positive ions
no
Oxygen is an element that exists as a molecule in its natural state. It originally contains no ions and later atoms are converted into ions when it is required.

why atoms of group 0 elements do not form ions
Not ions, but isotopes.
Transition elements
Atoms of the same element do, but some ions do not. Iron forms 2+ and 3+ ions
