An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Isotopes have the same amount of protons and electrons but have a different number of neutrons. The less neutrons the lighter the isotope, the more neutrons, the heavier the isotope.
An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons. Ions have more or less electrons than protons and have a normal amount of neutrons. The more an atom has the more negative it is, the less the more positive it is.

What compare and contrast a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide ion?
A hydrogen ion (H+) is a positively charged ion formed when a hydrogen atom loses its electron. A hydroxide ion (OH-) is a negatively charged ion formed by the combination of a hydrogen ion and an oxygen atom. They are oppositely charged ions that combine to form water (H2O) in a neutralization reaction.
Why is an iron atom attracted to sulfide ion but not to a zinc ion?
An iron atom is attracted to a sulfide ion because of the opposite charges between the two ions, creating an electrostatic attraction. In contrast, a zinc ion has a neutral charge, so there is no significant attraction between the zinc ion and the iron atom based on charge interactions.
When a atom loses or gains electrons it becomes an?
ION A positively (+) charged ion is named a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is named an ANION NB When an atom becomes a charged species it is no longer an atom, but an ION . An atom has a neutral charge.
Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
What type of atom is formed when an electron is gained or lost by a neutral atom?
NO!!! Atom is formed by the gain/loss of electrons. When an atom gain/loses electrons it is an ION NOT an atom. NB A positively (+) charged ion is a CATION A negatively (-) charged ion is an ANION .

How do radii of positive and negative ions compare with atoms of the same element?
Small positive ion, Mid elemental atom, Large negative ion.
How does the size ofa negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
It is larger, because it has gained electrons.
How does the size of a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that form?
The size of a negative ion is larger than atom. This makes more negative than positive, allowing the negative electrons to go farther from the nucleus.
Compare the number of electrons of a negative ion to that of the neutral atom include both negative ion and neutral atom in your answer?
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
What does a fluoride ion have in common with a neon atom and a sodium atom?
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
How does the size if a negative ion compare to the size of the atom that formed it?
It will be have gained one electron. So, it will weigh 1/1875 unit more than the entire whole atom .
What a ion?
An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.

Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
