Question

Two individual atoms of the same element are slightly different. One has one more proton than it has electrons. The other has one more electron than it has protons. These atoms are both

ions
isotopes
freons
xenons
phlogistons

Answer 1

ions

Step-by-step explanation:

Individual atoms of the same element but having slightly different number of protons and electrons are called ions.

Ion is a charged particle.

• An atom is made up of three fundamental subatomic particles.
• Protons are the positively charged particles
• Electrons are the negatively charged particles
• Neutrons do not carry any charges.

When the number of protons > electrons the body is positively charged.

When the number of electrons > protons the body is negatively charged.

Charged particles are called ions.
