Atom, Ion, or Isotope?

Page 2: Atom, Ion, or Isotope?. Atoms Atoms are neutral Protons = Electrons There are special kinds of atoms.... IonsIsotopes

AtomsAtoms are neutral

Protons = Electrons

There are special kinds of atoms....

IonsIsotopes

Page 3: Atom, Ion, or Isotope?. Atoms Atoms are neutral Protons = Electrons There are special kinds of atoms.... IonsIsotopes

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.
