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.
Diffen âº Science âº Chemistry. An ion is an atom or group of atoms in which the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge. An anion is an ion that is negatively charged, and is attracted to the anode (positive electrode) in electrolysis.
