Kaleigh Wood · Answer 1

Atoms are neutral particles, ions have a charge.

Explanation:

Atoms are neutral because they have an equal number of protons (+) and electrons (-).

Ions are charged particles which are formed when atoms either gain or lose electrons. When atoms gain or lose electrons they become more stable.
