Understand that ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge.
Recall that if an ion has more electrons than protons, it carries a net negative charge.
Identify the term used for negatively charged ions, which is 'anion'.
Differentiate this from 'cation', which refers to ions with a net positive charge (more protons than electrons).
Note that 'radical' refers to species with unpaired electrons, and 'isotope' refers to atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, so neither term applies here.
