Atom, Isotopes, and Ions

100

An Ion has a different number of this subatomic particle.

What are Electrons?

200

This type of Ion has lost electrons, therefore gaining a Positive Charge.

What is a Cation?

300

This type of Ion forms when an atom gains Electrons, giving it a negative charge.

What is an Anion?

400

Describe the difference between an Ion and an Isotope.

What is an Ion has a different number of Electrons while an Isotope has a different number of Neutrons?
