What does ANION mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A charged particle that has gained one or more electrons and so carries an overall negative charge.
An anion picks up extra electrons, giving it more negative charge than positive, and during electrolysis it travels toward the positively charged anode, which is where the name comes from. Its opposite number is the cation, a positively charged particle drawn to the negative cathode instead. Chloride, oxide and hydroxide are everyday anions found in ordinary salts and solutions.
