Anions

Negatively charged atoms, radicals or groups of atoms which travel to the anode or positive pole during electrolysis.


Anion is an ion with a negative charge. The term ion refers to a chemical that has either a positive or negative charge.


An ion carrying a negative charge; the opposite of cation. An anion is attracted by, and travels to, the anode (positive pole). Examples are acid radicals and corresponding radicals of their salts.


An anion, which carries a negative charge, migrates towards the positive pole or anode within an electrochemical solution such as a battery.


An anion is an ion that carries a negative charge due to an excess of electrons. In the body, anions include bicarbonate, chloride, phosphate, sulfate, specific organic acids, and certain protein compounds.
