An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, thus it has a negative or positive charge.
There are two types of ions:
1. Cation: positively charged ions
2. Anion: negatively charged ions

∙ 12y agoThere are 2 types of ions they are cation(positive charged) and anion(negative charged).generally the electro positive atoms donates electrons to give cations and the electro negative atoms receive the donated electrons and attain negative charge.the opposite charged catinos and anions combine which involed in covalent bond to form a molecule.
