anion (ăn`ī'ən), atom or group of atoms carrying a negative charge. The charge results because there are more electrons than protons in the anion. Anions can be formed from nonmetals by reduction (see oxidation and reduction oxidation and reduction, complementary chemical reactions characterized by the loss or gain, respectively, of one or more electrons by an atom or molecule.

anion

Atom or group of atoms carrying a negative electric charge, indicated by a superscript minus sign after the chemical symbol. Anions in a liquid subjected to an electric field migrate toward the positive electrode (anode). Examples include hydroxyl (−OH⁻; see hydroxide), carbonate (−CO₃²⁻), and phosphate (−PO₄³⁻). See also ion; compare cation.

anion

a negatively charged ion; an ion that is attracted to the anode during electrolysis

anion [′a‚nī·ən]

(chemistry)

An ion that is negatively charged.
