Atoms have neutral charge.
- jws 16y agowikipedia://ion says: An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons… The H+ ion (i.e. proton) is an instance of atom under this definition, as are all ions.
- dalke 16y agoAnd wikipedia://atom says "The atom is a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons." If you're going by quoted Wikipedia definitions then H+ isn't an atom, so therefore it isn't an ion.
