What do you think the difference is between an atom and an ion?

https://www.thoughtco.com/how-many-atoms-are-in-human-body-603872

Atomic Composition of a Lean 70-kg Man
Element   # of Atoms
hydrogen   4.22 x 10 27
oxygen   1.61 x 10 27
carbon   8.03 x 10 26
nitrogen   3.9 x 10 25
calcium   1.6 x 10 25
phosphorus   9.6 x 10 24
sulfur   2.6 x 10 24
sodium   2.5 x 10 24
potassium   2.2 x 10 24
chlorine   1.6 x 10 24
magnesium   4.7 x 10 23
silicon   3.9 x 10 23
fluorine   8.3 x 10 22
iron   4.5 x 10 22
zinc   2.1 x 10 22
rubidium   2.2 x 10 21
strontium   2.2 x 10 21
bromine   2 x 10 21
aluminum   1 x 10 21
copper   7 x 10 20
lead   3 x 10 20
cadmium   3 x 10 20
boron   2 x 10 20
manganese   1 x 10 20
nickel   1 x 10 20
lithium   1 x 10 20
barium   8 x 10 19
iodine   5 x 10 19
tin   4 x 10 19
gold   2 x 10 19
zirconium   2 x 10 19
cobalt   2 x 10 19
cesium   7 x 10 18
mercury   6 x 10 18
arsenic   6 x 10 18
chromium   6 x 10 18
molybdenum   3 x 10 18
selenium   3 x 10 18
beryllium   3 x 10 18
vanadium   8 x 10 17
uranium   2 x 10 17
radium   8 x 10 10

Again iron is the 14th most common element in the human body and elemental iron ATOMS must be consumed every day. I said that the average adult has 3 to 4 grams of iron in their body in various places and in various forms and I am correct.

PS It was in the movie, Diana ask Charles to make tea and he told her that he did not know how, rhymes with dumb

Can't make that up

Because nothing is ever made up in movies.
I don't see the relevance of Charles- either to this discussion, or in general.
His late father once visited a lab where I worked, but I didn't see him.

Is most of this squabble about a pun? The difference between iron and ion (and an iron ion)?

PS: That would be ironic...

No.
As far as I can tell, Europa genuinely doesn't realise that they are different.
So he keeps redundantly pointing out that there is iron in the body- which everybody knows, but he keeps missing the fact that it is present as ions rather than atoms.

Either he's genuinely (and determinedly) ignorant or a pointless troll.

(And God only knows what he thinks jug ears has got to do with it.)

ahem...ahem...!

Atoms vs. Ions.

Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons.

By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.
