What is an example of an atom of an element has properties that are very different from those of an ion of the same element?

An example of an atom with properties different from an ion of the same element would be fluorine. Fluorine in its atomic form (F) is a highly reactive gas, while an ion of fluorine (F-) is a stable, non-reactive anion. This is due to the difference in the number of electrons in each state, affecting their reactivity.


Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?

A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
