Atoms, ions, and isotopes are all forms of the same element. They all have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity.
This atom of Nitrogen with 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 8 electrons is an isotope, specifically nitrogen-14. It is not an ion because it has an equal number of protons and electrons, so its charge is neutral. It is also not an average atom, as it has a specific number of protons and neutrons that define it as a particular isotope.
Yes, an isotope can also be an ion. An isotope is a variant of an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, while an ion is an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of electrons.
Hydrogen atom has an average mass not equal to its common isotope. The most common isotope of hydrogen, hydrogen-1, does not have a neutron in its nucleus, while the average mass of a hydrogen atom accounts for the other isotopes of hydrogen which do contain neutrons.
A negative oxygen ion still has 8 neutrons, just like a neutral oxygen atom. The number of neutrons in an atom is determined by the element's atomic number, which for oxygen is 8. Changing the number of protons would change the element itself, not the charge of the ion.
The number of neutrons in a bromine atom can vary depending on the isotope. The most common isotope of bromine, ^79Br, has 44 neutrons.
they all have the same element with the same number
In one atom of cobalt ion, the number of neutrons can vary based on the isotope. The most common isotope of cobalt is cobalt-59, which has 33 neutrons.
An alumimium atom is electrically neutral and it is an isotope of aluminum.
Helium is a neutral atom that has several isotopes and can become an ion.
This is not an atom. This is an ion. This is Na+ ion.
ion
Neutral atom. An atom of nitrogen will also be an isotope of nitrogen.
A chromium ion is not neutral. By definition an ion is not neutral. All atoms belong to an isotope, but that has nothing to do with whether the atom is ionized or not.
You call it an ion of that isotope. Let's use carbon-14 for example. If a carbon-14 atom gains/loses an electron, you simply call it a "carbon-14 ion".
what does an atom have in common with an ion?
N-14 is the most common isotope of nitrogen atom and it has 7 protons, 7 neutrons
29, it's the same as the atomic number, unless it's an isotope or an ion
