Exercise 1
... Moreover, electrons from within an atom can be ejected (ionized). The resulting atom is called an ion, and will contain fewer electrons than protons, resulting in a net positive charge; this type of ion is called a cation. Meanwhile, the electron that was ionize can stabilize around a different atom ...
