Ions, or charged elemental particles, differ only in the number of electrons that they have. Some are capable (under ordinary circumstances) of gaining or loosing multiple numbers of electrons, which affects the means in which they can form ionic compounds with other ions. Essentially, differently charged ions will bond with different ions of opposite charge.
positive ions
Zn and Ca both have double positive (2+) ions: Zn2+ and Ca2+ but other properties are different.
Like-charged ions repel each other. Opposite-charged ions attract each other.
Not ions, but isotopes.
Polyatomic ions act like an ion other than they travel in groups of ions. It will respond the same like any other ion.

it depends on the inter-molecular bonds between the atoms/ions/molecules
You cannot. Different ions have different molecular masses.
A crystal is a mineral where all of the atoms are in a row, this is what makes it kind of clear. What determines its shape is the amount of space it has to form in and will usually have triangular pyramidal edges.
this is because it has h+ ions (hydrogen ions) which makes it an acid
It has dissolved ions in it.
All elements become ions when you add or subtract electrons.
The presence of OH- ions makes an substance alkaline. When dissolved in solution, the substance should be able to liberate OH- ions.
The presence of dissociable OH- ions makes it alkaline.
