Gratias Ago Vos. Gratias Ago Vos. On the new statue (well, not more than a few months old) in the pond in Wizard City Commons, the inscription on the statue reads Gratias Ago Vos. By correct Latin grammar it should be Gratias Ago Vobis. Just saying.
Noun. 1. anion-a negatively charged ion. ion-a particle that is electrically charged (positive or negative); an atom or molecule or group that has lost or gained one or more electrons. hydroxide ion, hydroxyl ion-the anion OH having one oxygen and one hydrogen atom.
Anion vs. Cation Ions result from atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more valence electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge. Those with a negative charge are called anions and those with a positive charge are called cations. These opposing charges frequently result in ionic bonds with one another. An anion is an ion that carries a negative charge, causing it to migrate to the anode (positive electrode) in electrolysis. It has more electrons than protons, resulting in the negative charge. Anions are nonmetals. A cation is an ion that carries a positive charge, causing it to migrate to the cathode (negative electrode) in a electrolysis. It has more protons than electrons, resulting in the positive charge. Cations are metals.
