   Ion
   In Greek mythology Ion was the son of Apollo and the Arthenian princess Creusa, whom Apollo raped on the Acropolis. Creusa abandoned Ion at birth, and Apollo took the child to Delphi, where he was brought up in ignorance of his true parentage. In the meantime, Creusa married King Xuthus. After several childless years, they went to delphi to ask advice. Apollo told Xuthus that the first person he met on leaving the shrine would be his son - and that person was Ion. Furious that Xuthus was adoptin...

12. 
    Ion
    An ion is a charged Atom or molecule. The ion is charged because the number of Electrons do not equal the number of Protons in the atom or molecule. If the atom or molecule contains an excess of electrons it will be negatively charged (e.g. OH-) where as if it is depleted in electrons it will have a net positive charge (e.g. H+).

    Ion
    An atom with one or more electrons in surplus or deficit. Because each electron carries a unit negative charge, if there is a surplus of them the overall atomic charge is a net negative (making the ion in question an anion), and if there is a deficit of them the overall atomic charge is a net positi

17. 
    Ion
    An ion is an electrically charged atom or molecule. It may comprise one or more atoms and be positively (cation) or negatively (anion) charged. The number of positively charged core modules (protons) in atoms is identical to the number of negatively charged electrons which encircle the core. An atom is outwardly electrically neutral. An ion is charged by the imbalance of positive charges in the core and negative charges in the electron shell.

18. 
    Ion
    An ion is an electrically charged atom. In a neutral atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is balanced by the number of electrons around the nucleus. If an electron is knocked away from the nucleus (perhaps as a result of radiation), then the atom will be left with a net positive charge. The process of creating ions is called ionisation
