Are atoms of the same element but with different masses are called ions?
Not ions, but isotopes.
How many isotopes are in tin?
10 isotopes 10 isotopes
How do isotopes of nitrogen differ from nitrogen ions?
Nitrogen isotopes do not have a charge.Ions have a charge.
Are ions isotopes atoms the same thing?
No. Isotopes are a subset of atoms, for elements which have more than one isotope. The term isotope has meaning only in comparison to another atom with the same atomic number, while the more general term atom is not so limited. Ions differ from both of the others by being electrically charged.
Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?
Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and negative charges.

Do all isotopes of an element from the same type of ions?
Assuming the question is "do all isotopes of an element form the same type of ions" then the answer is YES.The chemistry of an element is determined by the number of protons and electrons.Isotopes of an element only differ one from another by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus, the chemistry is not affected, and they will form the same ions.An example is chlorine. The two common isotopes are 35Cl and 37Cl which are both present in nature. Both form Cl- ions.
Can radioactive isotopes be ions?
Probably not, no.

Nitrogen isotopes do not have a charge.Ions have a charge.

What are the ions and isotopes?
1. Ions are electrically charged atoms of an element; examples are H+, Ca2+, Y3+ etc. 1. Isotopes are atoms of the same element but having different number of neutrons in the nucleus: examples are hydrogen (protium), deuterium, tritium etc.

Is Neon's extra neutron an Ion or an Isotope?
An ISOTOPE> Remember the definition for isotopes. Different isotopes of an element have a different number of neutrons. NB Ions are produced when an atom has a different number of electrons compared to the number of protons.
What instrument measures masses of ions in isotopes?
mass spectrometer
Difference between isotopes and ions?
Isotopes have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons (they are the same element however).Isotones have different numbers of protons, but the same number of neutrons, and are thus different elements.
Ions are charged and isotopes are not true or false?
True. Isotopes are defined by the amount of neutral neutrons which have no effect on the polarity of the atom. ions are defined by a differing amount of protons and electrons, therefore charging them.
