All atoms (other than Noble Gases) can become ions, and all ions are charged. Cobalt gains a charge of +2 as an ion.
A negatively charged "ion".
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
the positive and negative energy is no longer in balance causing the atom to become an ion+ or an ion-
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.
No an ion is not a type of Lithium. An ion is an atom or molecule where the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge. This does mean that you can have an ion OF Lithium which is positively or negatively charged.
It depends, a proton if is is positively charged ( +) electron if it is negatively charged ( - )
IONS OS ION ^^A charged atom is called an ion
An atom becomes a positively charged ion when it loses one or more electrons.

A Cobalt ion can have different charges depending on the compound it is a part of. For example, in Cobalt(II) compounds, the Cobalt ion carries a 2+ charge, while in Cobalt(III) compounds, the charge is 3+.
The metallic ion in cobalt(III) bromide is Co3+ (cobalt with a +3 charge).
It becomes a negatively charged ion.
Electrically Charged or Negatively charged
The oxidation number of a Cobalt (III) ion is +3. This means that the Cobalt atom has lost three electrons.
The type of intermolecular forces in Cl2Co (cobalt(II) chloride) would be predominantly ionic interactions between the cobalt cation and the chloride anions. These ionic bonds are formed through the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged cobalt ion and the negatively charged chloride ions.
