ions
Atoms with charge
Ions is the plural of ion, an atom or molecule carrying an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons.
Positive ions (cations) have lost electrons; negative ions (anions) have gained them.
Ions are fundamental to chemistry, biology, and physics: The solution contains sodium and chloride ions.
Ion drives propel spacecraft; ionic bonds hold salts together.
