Atoms are neutral species containing protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in the orbitals (or shells).
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
If an atom gains electrons, then negatively charged ions called anions are formed.
If an atom loses electrons, then positively charged ions called cations are formed.
What else can I help you with?
Is an atom of an element with a different number of neutrons called ion or isotope?
ion
What is the name of an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons?
Ion
What an atom may be if it has a different number of protons and electrons?
It would be an ion.
What is an example of an atom of an element has properties that are very different from those of an ion of the same element?
An example of an atom with properties different from an ion of the same element would be fluorine. Fluorine in its atomic form (F) is a highly reactive gas, while an ion of fluorine (F-) is a stable, non-reactive anion. This is due to the difference in the number of electrons in each state, affecting their reactivity.
Having the same number or protons but different number of electrons?
This relationship is for an atom and its ion.
How is an ion different from an atom of the same substance?
an ion has a full "shell"
What is the essential difference between an ion and an atom?
An ion is an atom that has a different number of electrons than normal. That makes it positively or negatively charged. Normally, atoms have the same number of electrons as they have protons. If the atom has lost one of more electrons, it will be a positive ion. If it has gained one or more electrons, it will be a negative ion.
Is an atom of an element with a different number of neutrons called ion or isotope?
ion
What do you call an atom that has gained or lost a proton?
An atom of a different element.
What are differences between ions and isotopes?
An ion is an atom with an electrical charge, positive or negative.An isotope of chemical element is an atom having a different number of neutrons.
Why is an iron atom attracted to sulfide ion but not to a zinc ion?
An iron atom is attracted to a sulfide ion because of the opposite charges between the two ions, creating an electrostatic attraction. In contrast, a zinc ion has a neutral charge, so there is no significant attraction between the zinc ion and the iron atom based on charge interactions.
How does the negative ion different from an uncharged atom of the same element?
the ion has a greater number of electrons
What type of atom has a different number of protons and electrons?
An ion
What is the difference between the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion?
positive ion forms when any electron removes from an atom and an anion called negative ion forms when an atom accepts an additional electron
What are atoms of the same element with different numbers of electrons?
Usually, an atom has the same number of protons as electrons, but when the number of electrons is changed, the atom is considered ionic. An atom that has lost an electron is called an anion, and an atom that has gained an electron is called a cation. One example of a cation is a potassium ion, or K+, and one example of an anion is chloride,(a chlorine ion) or Cl-
What atom has no balance between positive and electric charges?
No atom can have an imbalance in its charge; if it did, it would be an ion.
Is the number of protons the same in the atom or ion of lithium?
Yes, the number of protons in an atom and its ion of lithium is the same. Lithium always has 3 protons in its nucleus, regardless of whether it is in its neutral atom form (Li) or as an ion with a different number of electrons.
