Some atoms are neutral and others have positive or negative charges.

The charged atoms are called "ions".

- If the ion has positive charge, it is called cation.

- If the ion has negative charge, it is called anion.

Ions can be identified by their charge, for example:

- Cations: Na^+1, K^+1, Mg^+2

- Anions: Cl^-1, Br^-1
