why atom is more reactive than ions

This isn't necessarily true.
It's when an atom has more electrons than protons it is more reactive.
A hydrogen atom only has one electron, for the most part, yet it is more reactive than, for example, argon which has 18 electrons, again for the most part. I'm not considering any of the atoms ions which would increase or decrease the number of electrons an atom has. In other words, I'm only considering neutral atoms.
An atom with zero net charge is more stable than the same type of atom that has a net charge. And an atom that has a complete valence shell gets even more stable.
Atoms that have complete valence shells are known as noble gases.

⬇️HERE IS YOUR ANSWER⬇️
________________________
Atoms are at their most stable when their outermost energy level is either empty of electrons or filled with electrons.
therefore, atoms are more reactive than ions.
