| ion |
An atom or molecule that carries a net charge (either positive or negative) because of an imbalance between the number of protons and the number of electrons present. If the ion has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge. If the converse is true, the ion has a positive charge. Ions with a positive charge are called cations; ions with a negative charge are called anions.
