Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. An ion is an atom or molecule with a positive or negative charge. Both atoms and ions are composed of electrons that are exchangeable. So in some way they are similar

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. Everything else about them is the same.(If you want more explanation tell me).
