Answer:

  • An ion is a charged particle.
  • Ion may consist of a single charged atom or a group of atoms that have a net charge on them.
  • A negatively charged ion is called anion.
  • A positively charged ion is called cation.

For Example,

Sodium: Na⁺, Chloride: Cl⁻, Ammonium: NH₄⁺ Carbonate: CO₃²⁻
