Using the Hartree-Fock non-relativistic wave functions in the position and momentum spaces, the statistical measure of complexity C, due to Lopez-Ruiz, Mancini, and Calbet for the neutral atoms as well as their monopositive and mononegative ions with atomic number Z = 1-54 are reported. In C, given by the product of exponential power Shannon entropy and the average density, the latter is then replaced by the Fisher measure to obtain the Fisher-Shannon plane. Our numerical results suggest that in overall the Fisher-Shannon plane reproduces the trends given by C, with significantly enhanced sensitivity in the position, momentum and the product spaces in all neutral atoms and ions considered.
