An isotope is any of several different forms of an element each having different atomic mass. Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons.
An ion is an atom, group of atoms, or subatomic particle that normally is electrically neutral and achieves its status as an ion by loss (or addition) of an electron.

An ion is an atom or a racical with a charge. It has either lost or gained an electron. The number of protons do not match the number of electrons... 23 across in Sundays crossword puzzle.
An isotope is an element that has either more or less neutrons than the average atom of that element.

An isotope is one of several different forms of an element with a specific atomic mass because it has a specific number of neutrons.
An ion is an atom or molecule with less or more electrons creating a net charge.
