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. :)
Almost all the chemical properties of an atom are determined by the valence shell electrons or in general, by the no of electrons present in the atom. Since in an isotope and a general atom, no. of electrons is same, therefore they have similar chemical properties. Isotopes differ in atomic mass only and that is due to extra neutrons.
Isotopes of an atom does retain the properties of the atom. This is discrete in units of matter.

Isotopes of an atom have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This causes isotopes to have different atomic masses. The chemical properties of isotopes are usually identical, but physical properties such as nuclear stability and radioactive decay can vary.
All atoms have the same parts (protons,neutrons and electrons ). they just differ in number. So i don't think there's a smallest part of an atom that can keep all properties of an element. An element is defined by its Z number, which is the number of protons it has.
The anion has a negative electrical charge and is more chemically reactive than the atom.

An ion forms when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a different number of protons and electrons. This causes the ion to have different chemical and physical properties than its parent atom because the ion has a different charge and electron configuration. The charge of the ion affects its interactions with other atoms and molecules, as well as its reactivity and stability.
Yes, while neutron count can differ and some properties.
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no overall charge. An ionized atom has gained or lost electrons, creating a positive or negative charge. This difference in charge affects the atom's chemical behavior and reactivity.

hahaha funny
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
