What does an ion do?

Answer 1

When the ionizer is turned on, voltage is applied to a set of needles inside the fan. This creates electrons that are discharged into the air. When these negatively charged particles encounter a particle of dust or smoke or animal dander, they attach to it and make it larger. This makes them either trapped in the filter of the fan or makes them fall to the floor as dust particles, which can then be swept or vacuumed up.

Answer 2

An ion is an electrically charged atom or molecule. Ions can interact with other atoms or molecules through electrostatic forces, allowing them to participate in chemical reactions, conduct electricity, and help maintain the balance of charges in biological systems.

Answer 3

ion contains either a positive or negative charge.

Answer 4

When an ion penetrates a solid, it splits molecules, moves atoms, and destroys ordered structures.

Ions also help enzymes fit into molecules with opposite charges.
