An ion is simply a molecule with an uneven number of electrons and protons. Remember that in order for a molecule to be stable, the number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles) must be the same. Ions are different because they gain and lose electrons.

What is Br2 atom ion or molecule?
No, they are covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed between a group 1 metal and Br.
Ion difference between hydroxide and hydrogen?
Hydroxide is OH- it is a negative ion consisting of a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom covalently bound together. The hydrogen ion is H+ indicating a single hydrogen atom with a positive charge. However, it rarely exists on its own. In an aqueous solution it bonds with a water molecule to form the hydronium ion, H3O+
Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
What is a positively charged atom or molecule?
ion
What is the difference between chlorine radical and chlorine molecule?
A chlorine radical is simply Cl. with no charge but free electrons wanting to bond. A Cl atom basically. A chlorine molecule is Cl2 (two atoms bonded covalently). A chloride ion is Cl-. Many people confuse an ion with a radical. They are not the same.
What a ion?
An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or molecule.
What is the difference between an Ion and an Molecule?
Ions are charged.
What is Br2 atom ion or molecule?
No, they are covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed between a group 1 metal and Br.
What is ion and molecule?
a molecule is more than one atom attached together, an ion is an atom/molecule where the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons in the nucleus
Ion difference between hydroxide and hydrogen?
Hydroxide is OH- it is a negative ion consisting of a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom covalently bound together. The hydrogen ion is H+ indicating a single hydrogen atom with a positive charge. However, it rarely exists on its own. In an aqueous solution it bonds with a water molecule to form the hydronium ion, H3O+
What is the Difference between atom in ground state and ion?
The number of electrons.
What is any charged atom or molecule?
ion
Is both and atom and a molecule part of an ion?
Sorta, a molecule can neither be positive or negative and atom can only be an ion when in an ionic bond when it received or gave electrons.
Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
What is the difference between chlorine ion and atom?
A chlorine ion has one less electron, giving it a +1 charge.
What is the difference between the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion?
positive ion forms when any electron removes from an atom and an anion called negative ion forms when an atom accepts an additional electron
What is the difference of an atom or an ion?
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
