Ions have positive or negative charges. A neutral atom would have a charge of zero. So, no, they are not the same.

Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
Is boron a neutral atom or an ion?
I think it is neutral
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
neutral atom
When an atom of phosphorus becomes a phosphide ion p3 the radius?
When an element from anions, the radius of the ion increases when compared to that of the neutral atom. The same is the true for the element (phosphorus) and its anion (phosphide ion).
The difference between an electrically neutral atom and an ion is that?
The difference is in the number of electrons they have. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons (or atomic number) for that element. In an ion, this is not the case, with either less electrons (an overall positive charge) or more electrons (an overall negative charge) than he neutral atom
Do the atomic number for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.
Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion?
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
Is oxygen neutral atom or ion?
A neutral atom, it only becomes an ion after it loses or gains an electron.
Is xenon an isotope ion or neutral atom?
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
A chloride ion has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of?
argon
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of -?
argon
A chloride ion has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of what element?
argon
Is boron a neutral atom or an ion?
I think it is neutral
Is nitrogen an neutral atom or an ion?
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
Atoms always have the same number of electrons as they have protons?
This is true. That is why a atom is neutral. An atom becomes an Ion when the charges are + or -
What is an atom that is no longer neutral?
Protons and Neutrons.
When electron is added to unipositive ion we get?
neutral atom
