📖 Comprehensive Note
Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net electric charge.
- Cation: Positively charged ion formed when an atom loses electrons.
- Anion: Negatively charged ion formed when an atom gains electrons.
- Importance: Ions play key roles in electricity, chemical bonding, and biological systems.

When Atom loses electrons,
It becomes positively
Charged (called a cation) if
An iiiiooooon
An ion is an atom or
Molecule that has
Gained or lost one or
More electrons,
Resulting in a net
Electric charge.
When Atom gains electrons,
It becomes negatively
Charged (called an anion)
Oh oh oh uh uh yeahhhhh
An iiiiooooon
An ion is an atom or
Molecule that has
Gained or lost one or
More electrons,
Resulting in a net
Electric charge.
It becomes positively
Charged (called a cation) if
An iiiiooooon
An ion is an atom or
Molecule that has
Gained or lost one or
More electrons,
Resulting in a net
Electric charge.
When Atom gains electrons,
It becomes negatively

| Lyric Line | Explanation |
|---|---|
| When atom loses electrons | It becomes a positively charged ion (cation). |
| When atom gains electrons | It becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). |
| An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost electrons | Defines what an ion is — a charged particle due to electron transfer. |
💡 Mnemonic
"Cats lose — Anions gain!" — Cations (cats) lose electrons, anions gain electrons.
