How is a fluorine isotope different from a fluorine ion how are they the same?

The fluorine isotope differs from the fluorine ion because the fluorine isotope has a different number of neutrons from normal, while the ion has a different number of electrons. An isotope will have the same number of electrons as its atomic number (the number of protons), while the ion will add (more common in the case of fluorine) or subtract (very rare in the case of fluorine) electrons to the atom. The only thing they are similar in is the number of protons they have, which are the same.


Does a fluorine atom lose electrons when forming a fluorine ion?

Technically yes ... the naming convention is that X ion is the ion you get if you pull electrons off X.However, nothing is electronegative enough to do this to fluorine, so fluorine instead forms fluoride ions by gaining one electron.
