Ion

Suffixes, 1: "-ion" creates nouns that show the meaning of 'action, state, process, results,' and so on.

This spacecraft is powered by ion thrusters.

An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electric charge.

This instrument is what’s known as a Faraday cup, a sensor designed to measure the ion and electron fluxes and flow angles from the solar wind.

A cation is a positively charged ion, with more protons than electrons, while an anion is negatively charged, with more electrons than protons.

Lithium ion batteries are used in almost all electric vehicles.

The computer whose keyboard was bought by Ion was locked.

So far, ESA is considering the use of a robotic arm, a harpoon, an ion beam, and now perhaps this newly tested fishing net method.

At the molecular level, salt dissolves in water due to electrical charges and due to the fact that both water and salt compounds are polar, with positive and negative charges on opposite sides in the molecule. The bonds in salt compounds are called ionic because they both have an electrical charge—the chloride ion is negatively charged and the sodium ion is positively charged. Likewise, a water molecule is ionic in nature, but the bond is called covalent, with two hydrogen atoms both situating themselves with their positive charge on one side of the oxygen atom, which has a negative charge. When salt is mixed with water, the salt dissolves because the covalent bonds of water are stronger than the ionic bonds in the salt molecules.
