Describe the difference between at atom and an ion in regards to their substaomic<br> particles.
tangare [24]

Answer:

-Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.

-An atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. An ion has an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons.

-An atom has no electrical charge. Ions have an electrical charge because they have an imbalance of protons and electrons.
