Isotopes and What They Have to do With Radon
An isotope is an atom that has a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. Radon always has 86 protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons, meaning that it is an isotope. The most stable isotope of Radon is 222Rn.
However, Radon can also be an ion, meaning that it will have more or less electrons. This also means that it will have a charge. More electrons means that it has a negative charge, while less electrons means that it has a positive charge. The charge of the ion depends on the amount of electrons to protons there is inside of the atom.
