Whats the overall charge of an atom?
0 / neutral / no charge
7 of 12
How do atoms form ions?
By losing or gaining electrons
8 of 12
What is an Isotope?
An atom with the same number of atoms as another atom but a different number of neutrons
9 of 12
Why do isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties?
Because they all have the same electron configuration
