Atom vs Ion. Atom is the smallest neutral unit which can form bonds. And ion is any charged molecule. Ion may be composed of several atoms or a single atom. Atoms are unique and are single type. Ions are two types, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions). The main difference between atom and ion is the charge. Atom is electrically neutral while ion is electrically charged. Always atom contains an equal number of electrons and protons, but in an ion the number of electrons and protons are always different. The maximum number of positive charges that an ion can have is 6. And the maximum number of negative charges is 3.
Atoms vs. Ions. 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.y removing an electron from this atom we get a positively charged Na + ion that has a net charge of +1. Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom, for example, contains 17 protons and 17 electrons.
