  2. Ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

    Forming an ionic bond, Li and F become Li + and F − ions. An ion (/ ˈ aɪ. ɒ n,-ən /) [1] is an atom or molecule with a net electrical charge. The charge of an electron is considered to be negative by convention and this charge is equal and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is considered to be positive by convention. The net charge ...

  3. Negative air ions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_air_ions

    This website is the first negative ions industry website in China, and its purpose is to rapidly promote the orderly development of the air negative ion (negative oxygen ion) industry. In 2020, the Tsinghua University successfully developed a medical-grade high-concentration negative oxygen ion generator.

  4. Air ioniser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_ioniser

    An air ioniser (or negative ion generator or Chizhevsky's chandelier) is a device that uses high voltage to ionise (electrically charge) air molecules. Negative ions, or anions , are particles with one or more extra electrons , conferring a net negative charge to the particle.

  5. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    An ion is an atom (or group of atoms) that has lost one or more electrons, giving it a net positive charge (cation), or that has gained one or more electrons, giving it a net negative charge (anion). Monatomic ions are formed from single atoms, while polyatomic ions are formed from two or more atoms that have been bonded together, in each case ...

  6. Ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization

    Ionization (or ionisation specifically in Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand) is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes. The resulting electrically charged atom or molecule is called an ion.

  7. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    This polarization of the negative ion leads to a build-up of extra charge density between the two nuclei, that is, to partial covalency. Larger negative ions are more easily polarized, but the effect is usually important only when positive ions with charges of 3+ (e.g., Al 3+) are involved.

  8. Negative methane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_methane

    Negative methane is the negative ion of methane, meaning that a neutral methane molecule captured an extra electron and became an ion with a total negative electric charge: CH 4-. This kind of ion is also known as anion and are relevant in nature [ 1 ] because negative ions have been observed to have important roles in several environments.

  9. Degree of ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_ionization

    On the contrary, if the species has gained one or several additional electrons, it becomes negatively charged and is called a negative ion, or anion. Individual free electrons and ions in a plasma have very short lives typically inferior to the microsecond, as ionization and recombination, excitation and relaxation are collective continuous ...
