No. Ions are formed by the loss or gain of electrons. the mass of electrons is negligible when compared to the mass of the nucleus (or the atom). Hence ions have the same mass as that of the atom of the element.

Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.

- Which of the following particles differ in isotope atomsA) cationsB) neutronsC) ionsD) protonsE) electrons?

B) neutrons differ in isotope atoms. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, which can affect the stability and properties of the atom. Cations (positively charged ions), ions, protons, and electrons are not directly related to the concept of isotopes.


Why do the properties of an ion differ those of its parent atom?

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. :)

How are ions different from Atom?

Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.


How do atoms differ from ions?

Atoms differ from ions in that atoms do not have net charge. Ions have net charges. There are two types of ions, anion and cation. Anion is positively charged while cation is negatively charged.
