An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Isotopes have the same amount of protons and electrons but have a different number of neutrons. The less neutrons the lighter the isotope, the more neutrons, the heavier the isotope.
An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons. Ions have more or less electrons than protons and have a normal amount of neutrons. The more an atom has the more negative it is, the less the more positive it is.

How many isotopes are in tin?
10 isotopes 10 isotopes
Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?
Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and negative charges.
isotopes are the same as ions?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of neutrons.Ions are atoms with an electrical charge.
Ions are charged and isotopes are not true or false?
True. Isotopes are defined by the amount of neutral neutrons which have no effect on the polarity of the atom. ions are defined by a differing amount of protons and electrons, therefore charging them.
Are atoms of the same element but with different masses are called ions?
NO!!!! They are isotopes. The definition of an isotope is that it has a 'Different number of Neutrons', thereby giving it different atomic mass. Ions are atoms that have lost or gained electrons , and are now correctly named IONS , NOT atoms.
What are differences between ions and isotopes?
Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons e.g. Sodium ion is ' Na^(+) ' Isotopes are atoms that have a different number of Neutrons e.g. Chlorine exhibits two common isotopes viz. Cl-35 & Cl-37. The number refer to the isotopic mass. NB Do NOT confuse ISOTOPES / IONS with ALLOTROPES . An Allotrope is were the atoms of an element exhibit different physical characteristics. e.g. Carbon. Its allotropes are Graphite, Diamond and Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene).
How many isotopes are in tin?
10 isotopes 10 isotopes
Can radioactive isotopes be ions?
Probably not, no.
How many isomers exist for the octahedral complex ion?
There are two types of geometric isomers possible in octahedral complex ions: cis and trans isomers. For a complex with six different ligands, there can be a maximum of 30 different cis and trans isomers.
What are similarities between ions and isotopes?
Of a given element they have the SAME number of PROTONS. e.g. Chlorine exists as the chloride ion ' Cl^(-) Chlorine also exists as two isotopes ' Cl-35 & Cl-37 ' So you can have a chloride-35 ion ( 35-Cl^(-) ) and a chloride-37ion ( 37-Cl^(-)). But of all these different characteristics of chlorine , they ALL have the SAME number of protons at 17.

How are isotopes and ions and elements produced?
You add or remove one or more neutrons from each atom.
Compare and contrast ions with isotopes.?
Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge, while isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Ions can be formed from any element by gaining or losing electrons, whereas isotopes occur naturally and are specific to a particular element.
What instrument measures masses of ions in isotopes?
A mass spectrometer is the instrument used to measure masses of ions in isotopes. It works by ionizing the sample and then separating the ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio, providing information on the isotopic composition of an element.
