Ion (physics) (469 words)
A negatively charged ion, which has gained one or more electrons, is known as an anion, for it is attracted to anodes, and a positively charged ion, which has lost one or more electrons, is known as a cation (pronounced cat eye on), for it is attracted to cathodes.
In physics or chemistry, an ion is an electrically charged molecule or atom that has gained or lost electrons from its normal complement in a process known as ionization.
Ions were first theorized by Michael Faraday around 1830, to describe the portions of molecules that travel either to an anion or to a cation.
