Atom, Ion, or Isotope?

AtomsAtoms are neutral
Protons = Electrons
There are special kinds of atoms....

IonsAn Ion is an atom that has gained or lost ELECTRONS, so it has an overall charge
If an atom gains electrons, it’s overall charge becomes negative. If an atom loses electrons, it’s overall charge becomes positive.
If an atom gains/loses electrons, its mass will not change.

IsotopesAn Isotope is an atom that has gained or lost NEUTRONS
If an atom gains/loses neutrons, charge is not affected.
If an atom gains neutrons, its mass will increase.
If an atom loses neutrons, its mass will decrease.

Atomic NumberBecause atoms can gain or lose electrons and neutrons to become ions or isotopes, the atomic number will ALWAYS identify the number of PROTONS an atoms has.
