Atoms vs. Ions Worksheet: Cations

The document discusses the differences between atoms and ions. Atoms have a neutral charge, while ions have a positive or negative charge due to gaining or losing electrons. To write the symbol for an ion, the element symbol is written with the charge written above on the right. Examples of ion symbols like Ca2+, Zn2+, and Ag1+ are provided. The remainder of the document consists of worksheets to fill in properties of atoms and ions.
