What are the kinds of ions and their importance?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Common types of ions include cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions). Ions are important in various biological and chemical processes, such as nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and maintaining the body's pH balance. They also play a vital role in electrical conductivity, electrolyte balance, and forming chemical bonds.

Answer 3

There 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.
