Best Answer

An ion is a charged atom. It becomes charged when one atom steals an electron from another to fill its outer electron shell. The atom with more electrons gains a negative charge and the one with less gains a positive charge. The two atoms form an ionic bond, a chemical bond between 2 ions.
