An atom or group of atoms bearing an electrical charge such as the Sodium and Chlorine atoms in a salt solution
1 A charged atom or molecularly bound group of atoms; sometimes also a free electron or other charged subatomic particle
One of the electrified particles into which, according to the electrolytic dissociation theory, the molecules of electrolytes are divided by water and other solvents
An atom or molecule with a positive or negative electrical charge Positively charged ions are cations, and negatively charged ions are anions
To the properties and behavior of ions the phenomena of the electric discharge through rarefied gases and many other important effects are ascribed
a particle that is electrically charged (positive or negative); an atom or molecule or group that has lost or gained one or more electrons
An atom or group of atoms which functions as a unit, and has a positive or negative electrical charge, due to the gain or loss of one or more electrons (see Ionization)
One of the small electrified particles into which the molecules of a gas are broken up under the action of the electric current, of ultraviolet and certain other rays, and of high temperatures
