the main difference between an ions and molecules is that an ion contain the positive "cation" as well as negatively "anions" charge.The main reason is that the ions are the compounds composed of metals and non metals,so the intermix of the outer shell of particular atom can create the different charges.Where as in molecules,they are nuetral.
What else can I help you with?
Atoms of an element can have different numbers of protons?
No, they can't. Atoms (be careful of the difference between atoms and ions) can only have different numbers of neutrons, and those are called isotopes.
Are atoms of the same element but with different masses are called ions?
NO!!!! They are isotopes. The definition of an isotope is that it has a 'Different number of Neutrons', thereby giving it different atomic mass. Ions are atoms that have lost or gained electrons , and are now correctly named IONS , NOT atoms.
Difference between isotopes and ions?
Isotopes have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons (they are the same element however).Isotones have different numbers of protons, but the same number of neutrons, and are thus different elements.
How many isotopes are in tin?
10 isotopes 10 isotopes
What is the difference between an Ion and an Molecule?
Ions are charged.
What is the difference between ions and isotopes?
An isotope is two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. An ion is atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. Usually, isotopes are radioactive and only there neutrons differ. Ions are molecules that gain or lose electrons to fill their outer energy level.

Why is there a force of attraction between water molecules?
The property of cohesion describes the ability of water molecules to be attracted to other water molecules, which allows water to be a "sticky" liquid. Hydrogen bonds are attractions of electrostatic force caused by the difference in charge between slightly positive hydrogen ions and other, slightly negative ions.

Can radioactive isotopes be ions?
Probably not, no.
How does the strength of the attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions compare with the strength of the attraction between the sodium ions and chloride ions?
The attraction between water molecules and sodium/chloride ions (hydration) is stronger than the attraction between sodium and chloride ions in a crystal lattice (ionic bond). This is because water can surround and solvate the ions, breaking up the crystal structure and allowing them to move freely in solution. Sodium and chloride ions in a crystal lattice are held together by strong ionic bonds due to the opposite charges of the ions.
What forms bonding?
Chemical bonds are between atoms, ions or molecules.
What is the difference between an Ion and an Molecule?
Ions are charged.
Are ions isotopes atoms the same thing?
No. Isotopes are a subset of atoms, for elements which have more than one isotope. The term isotope has meaning only in comparison to another atom with the same atomic number, while the more general term atom is not so limited. Ions differ from both of the others by being electrically charged.
