Ion is an atom or a group of atoms that carries a positive or negative charge
Explanation:
- An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has a net electric charge. Cations are positively charged ions, while anions are negatively charged ions.
- Ions are formed when electrons are added to, or removed from, neutral atoms, molecules, or other ions; when ions are combined with other particles; or when a covalent connection between two atoms is ruptured, leaving both of the bond's electrons in association with one of the formerly connected atoms.
