An ion is missing an electron - the outer, or valence electron - and so is negatively charged. An atom has no charge as it contains the same number of electrons as protons.

How are ions of sulfur different than atoms of sulfur?
Sulfur ions are sulfur atoms that have gained two electrons.
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
Why atoms of group 0 elements do not form ions?
why atoms of group 0 elements do not form ions
Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have?
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
Negative ions form when atoms-blank-valence electrons?
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
How are ions of sulfur different than atoms of sulfur?
Sulfur ions are sulfur atoms that have gained two electrons.
How are ions different from Atom?
Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.
Are atoms of the same element but with different masses are called ions?
Not ions, but isotopes.
How are molecules different than ions or atoms?
Molecules have no net electric charge; ions do.
Are ions found in many different substances?
All atoms can become ions, but in most it is rare
Do atoms of elements in the same group from the same type of ions or different types of ions?
YES
Atoms with the same number of protons but with different electrical charges have different?
ions
How can there more than 1000 different atoms when there are only about 100 different elements?
My guess is that there are isotopes and ions of each element that count as different atoms.
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
Atoms of an element can have different numbers of protons?
No, they can't. Atoms (be careful of the difference between atoms and ions) can only have different numbers of neutrons, and those are called isotopes.
Does NaCl have atoms or ions?
it has both atoms as well as ions.
Charged atoms are called?
Charged atoms are called ions.
