Is an ion atom with a charge?
An ion is an atom with a positive or negative charge.
What is an atom called when it has a charge?
An atom with a charge is called an ion. If the atom gains electrons, it becomes a negative ion (anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion (cation).
Is sulfur an atom or An ion?
ion
When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
What is one atom ion called?
A one-atom ion is called a monatomic ion. It is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.

What a ion?
An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.

How can you tell if an atom is an ion?
If the number of protons and neutrons are the same, its an atom, if not its an ion
An atom is called an ion if there?
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
What is the difference of an atom or an ion?
A ion is an electrically charged atom, positive or negative.
Smallest is a atom or ion?

When an atom loses an electron it loses a?
Removal of an electron from an atom leaves a positively charged ion.
What is one atom ion called?

Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
