Understand that ions are charged particles formed when atoms gain or lose electrons.
Recall that when an atom loses electrons, it has more protons than electrons, resulting in a positive charge.
Recognize that a positively charged ion is called a cation.
Note that an anion is a negatively charged ion formed when electrons are gained, which is the opposite process.
Isotopes refer to atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, and radicals are species with unpaired electrons, so neither applies here.
