Answer 1

An ion is defined as an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more of its valence electrons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge. In other words, there is an imbalance in the number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles) in a chemical species.

Answer 2

Explanation:

An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. ... When an atom is attracted to another atom because it has an unequal number of electrons and protons, the atom is called an ION.
