Because they have gained or lost electrons and are no longer neutral.

Is a negative ion larger or smaller than its parent atom?
Larger because a negative ion contains more electrons than its parent atom therefore it is larger. A positive ion would be smaller because it has less electrons than its parent atom.
What ion is responsible for acidic properties of a liquid solution?
H
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
We are working on this in Physical Science class. A negative ion is larger then its parent atom. A positive ion is smaller then its parent atom. =]
Is a positive ion smaller or larger than its parent atom?
A positive ion is smaller than its parent atom because it has less electrons than its parent atom. The reduced number of electrons are then pulled more tightly to the positive nucleus because the number of protons remains the same, and these now exceed the electrons in number.
How does ionic radius differ from atomic radius?
Ionic radius is greater than atomic radius in a negative ion and less than it in a positive ion.
Why do the properties properties of an ion differ from those of its parent atom?
Because ions are electrically charged particles that have different chemical properties than their parent atoms. For example, salt is not as dangerous because it contains stable sodium ions, not the reactive sodium atoms of its parent. :)

What is an example of an atom of an element has properties that are very different from those of an ion of the same element?
its ion and atom properties differences is atom is like science ion-chemistry
Why does beryllium and helium have the same valence electrons but not the same chemical properties?
Helium (He) and Be2+ ion (not beryllium element) have the same number of valence electrons (two). But their properties are different as they differ in the number of protons (2 for helium, 4 for beryllium) and hence they differ in ther properties.
What is parent ionization energy?
It is the energy that is needed for ionization to happen. The parent ion is the ion before ionization, after it is known as the daughter ion
How does the nitrate ion differ from the nitrate ion?
The nitrite ion has one less oxygen atom.
A negative ion is than its parent atom?
A negative ion is larger than its parent atom because of its additional electron(s).

Larger because a negative ion contains more electrons than its parent atom therefore it is larger. A positive ion would be smaller because it has less electrons than its parent atom.
How does ammonia molecules differ from ammonium ion?
Ammonia is NH3 whereas ammonium ion is NH4+
How does a negative ion differ from an uncharge atom of the same element?
the ion has a greater number of electrons
How does a negative differ from a positive ion?
In the electric charge.
