History of Ion in Timeline
Ions are atoms or molecules that carry an electrical charge. This charge arises from an imbalance between the number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged) in the ion. If an ion has more protons than electrons, it has a positive charge, and if it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
