Ion
This is an atom or combined group of atoms that is electrically charged. There are positive and negative ions.
Examples: Sodium ion (Na+)
Magnesium ion (Mg2+)
Iron (III) ions (Fe3+)
Hydroxyl ion (OH-)
Nitrate ion (NO3-)
Hydrogencarbonate ion (HCO3-)
Oxide ion (O2-)
Carbonate ion (CO32-)
Sulphate ion (SO42-)
An ion is either positive (metallic) or negative (non-metallic), stable or unstable, coloured or colourless.
