If your atom is too ionized, it will likely zip away from you and attach itself to a nearby atom or molecule. An atom becomes radioactive when its nucleus contains too many or too few neutrons. Try to keep the same number of neutrons and protons as you build your atom. If the imbalance is too great, radioactive decay will occur.
To build a model of an ionized atom, you would start with a neutral atom and then remove one or more electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. If an atom becomes too ionized, it may lose its stability and react more readily with other atoms or molecules. For a radioactive model, you would depict an unstable nucleus with an imbalance of protons and neutrons; this could be represented by showing excess energy or particles being emitted. If the imbalance becomes too great, the atom may undergo radioactive decay, leading to the emission of radiation and transformation into another element or isotope.
If it is not ionized, then yes
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom positively identifies the element of which the atom is an example, whether the atom is neutral or ionized.
an ion, or ionized

When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
When an electron collides with an atom, it can transfer energy to the atom, causing the atom to become excited or ionized. This can lead to the atom emitting light or undergoing chemical reactions.
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.

Ionized atom Excited atom
When an atom absorbs ultraviolet energy and an electron is involved, the electron can move to a higher energy level or be ejected from the atom, leading to the atom becoming ionized or excited.
No. When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.) An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron. But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.
The ionized carboxyl group has a negatively charged oxygen atom bonded to a carbon atom, which is also bonded to a hydroxyl group. The ionized amino group has a positively charged nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms.
When there are too many electrons, an object can become negatively charged. This excess of electrons can cause repulsion between objects with the same charge, or attract objects with a positive charge. In extreme cases, such as lightning, the excess electrons can result in the discharge of electrical energy.
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no overall charge. An ionized atom has gained or lost electrons, creating a positive or negative charge. This difference in charge affects the atom's chemical behavior and reactivity.
