Electrically-charged atoms that have gained or lost electrons. iridocyte

Ions are atoms or molecules where the number of electrons are not equal to the number of protons and leaves the atoms or molecules with a net positive or negative charge. This is caused through the pr [..]

Positively or negatively charged molecules due to an unequal number of protons (+) and electrons (-), mostly one, two, or three. Salts are composed of pairs of ions that readily dissolve in water. Important metal ions in cells are sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron. The positively charged metal ions are always found with an equal [..]

An electrically charged particle, formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons to form a stable outer shell. All ions are either cations or anions.

Atoms that carry an electric charge, either positive or negative. If an atom gains an electron it takes on a negative charge. If the atom loses an electron it takes on a positive charge.

An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more Electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as [..]

Positively-charged atomic nuclei that have been stripped of their Electrons. These particles have one or more units of electric charge and a mass exceeding that of the Helium-4 nucleus (Alpha Particle [..]

Stable Elementary Particles having the smallest known positive charge, found in the nuclei of all Elements. The proton mass is less than that of a Neutron. A proton is the nucleus of the Light Hydroge [..]

An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as [..]
