anion

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008

anion , 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 ) or from neutral acids (see acids and bases ) or polar compounds by ionization. Anionic species include Cl - , SO 4-- , and CH 3 COO - . Highly colored intermediates in organic reactions are often radical anions (anions containing an unpaired electron). Salts are made up of anions and cations . See ion .
