An Ion makes up the electric charge of an atom. It can be a positively (+) charged atom or a negatively (-) charged atom, depending on the number of protons versus electrons.

On the other hand, an atom is the smallest part of an element composed of electrons, protons, and the nucleus.

So, ion-atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of electrons. Its not the easiest thing to study so you should complete your projects day by day from the day it was given.

What holds different atoms or ions together in a chemical compound?

Chemical bonds hold different atoms or ions together in a chemical compound. These bonds are formed through the sharing or transfer of electrons between the atoms or ions.


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, atoms of the same element but with different masses are called isotopes. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net electric charge.


How are ions different from Atom?

Atoms are neutral on the Periodic Table. Ions consist of more or less electrons than atoms.


What makes the boiling pint of liquids all different?

All atoms can become ions, but in most it is rare


Do atoms of elements in the same group from the same type of ions or different types of ions?

YES


Atoms with the same number of protons but with different electrical charges have different?

Atoms with the same number of protons but different electrical charges are known as ions. These ions have different chemical properties compared to neutral atoms due to their distinct electron configurations. This difference in charge leads to variations in their reactivity and ability to participate in chemical reactions.


How is ionic bonding different from covalent bonding?

Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of charged ions that are attracted to each other. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms, creating a strong bond between the atoms.


How can there more than 1000 different atoms when there are only about 100 different elements?

My guess is that there are isotopes and ions of each element that count as different atoms.


What are the difference between isotopes ions and molecules?

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.


Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?

Yes, only if there are both ions with positive charges and ions with negative charges among the ionized atoms.
