3.3.3 WHAT IS AN ION?​

Answer 1

$\huge\underbrace\mathfrak\red{❥︎AnsweR:-}$

☁︎Ions are charged atoms, meaning a neutral atom has lost or gained electrons giving the atom an electric charge. Gaining electrons makes the atom negatively charged, and losing electrons makes the atom positively charged. ☁︎
