  • No, the atomic number of an element does not change when it forms ion.
  • In an isolated neutral atom, total number of protons is equal to total number of electrons revolving around the nucleus.
  • Atomic number = Total number of protons in the nucleus.
  • When an atom forms an ion by loss or gain of electrons, the number of electrons revolving around the nucleus changes.
  • But the total number of protons remains the same.
  • Hence, the atomic number of the element does not changes when it forms ion.
