Atoms can become ions, by either gaining or losing one or more electrons in a process of chemical bonding, and similarly, ions can become atoms again by regaining or getting rid of the electron or electrons that they previously gained or lost; in such a case the atom can be described as a former ion.

How does the concentration of hydrogen ions vary with pH?
pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. So lowering pH from 5 to 4 means a ten times increase in hydrogen ion concentration. Increasing pH by 1 results in decreasing hydrogen ion concentration to 1/10th its former level.
