an ion is when an element loses or gains one or more electrons.

an isotope is when a element loses or gains one or more neutrons.

when one or more proton(s) is/are gained or lost, it becomes a different element.

What is the difference between a bohr model of a chlorine atom isotope and ion?

The Bohr model of a chlorine atom represents the neutral state of the atom, with 17 protons and an average number of neutrons for that specific isotope. An isotope of chlorine will have a different number of neutrons, leading to a different atomic mass but the same number of protons. An ion of chlorine will have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a different number of electrons compared to a neutral atom.
