When an atom is an ion, it means that it either lost or gained one or more electrons.
You can't change the charge because that is changing the very chemical nature of the ion/atom. To make formulas with ions, you use subscripts to change the NUMBER of ions in the formula without changing the CHARGE.
The size will be H- ion > H atom > H+ ion
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.
When the number of electrons changes, the atom becomes an ion. An atom becomes a positively charged ion (cation) when it loses electrons and a negatively charged ion (anion) when it gains electrons.
Well when an atom becomes an ion it either losses or gains and electron. When an electron is gained it makes the atom negative, but only if the amount of electrons is greater than the amount of protons, and when one is loss it is positive. When an atom becomes positive because of the loss of an electron it is called a Positive Ion.
A hydrogen ion can change into an atom by gaining an electron. When a hydrogen ion, which is essentially a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron, gains an electron back, it will become a neutral hydrogen atom.
No, the atomic number remains the same when an ion is formed. The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in an atom, which does not change when an atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons.
Yes, changing the number of protons in an atom would change the element, not necessarily create an ion. An ion is formed when the number of electrons in the atom changes, leading to a charged particle.
I cannot answer this question.

No.
The atom becomes a negative ion.
Eletron
The ion will have a charge, so if placed in an electric field it would accelerate while the atom would not react to it.
The atom will turn into an ion, specifically, a cation.
The size will be H- ion > H atom > H+ ion
A fluorine atom can change into a fluorine ion by gaining one electron to achieve a full valence shell. This extra electron gives the fluorine atom a negative charge, transforming it into a fluoride ion.
