An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge—positive if it has lost electrons (cation) and negative if it has gained electrons (anion). In contrast, a normal element is neutral, meaning it has an equal number of protons and electrons, balancing its electrical charge. This difference in charge affects how ions interact chemically, often leading to the formation of ionic bonds, while neutral elements typically engage in covalent or metallic bonding.
What else can I help you with?
How does a negative ion differ from an uncharge atom of the same element?
the ion has a greater number of electrons
Is C6H12O6 an ion or an element?
C6H12O6 is a molecule, specifically glucose. It is not an ion or a single element, as it is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms bonded together.
What the name for an ion that contains only type of element?

Is fluoride ion an element?
Fluoride ion (F-) is not an element, but an ion formed from the element fluorine (F). Fluorine is a chemical element on the periodic table, while fluoride ion is a negatively charged particle resulting from the gain of an electron by a fluorine atom.

What ion does not contain the element oxygen?
Potassium ion (K+) does not contain the element oxygen.
How atoms of the same element can be different?
An element by definition refers to all atoms with the same number of protons; so any atom with 1 proton is the same element as all other atoms with one proton; which would be helium. And then, all atoms with 2 protons would be the same element; hydrogen. But the atoms that have 1 proton and the atoms that have 2 protons cannot be the same element.An ion is an element with a different amount of electrons, where if it is a positive ion it is missing an election compared to a "normal" element and if it is a negative ion it would have an extra election compared to a "normal" element.An isotope is a member of the same element but it has a different number of neutrons.
An ion is an element that has a what charge?
An ion is an atom of any element that either has a positive or negative charge.
