Best Answer

Ionicity refers to whether a chemical is an ion or not.

An ion is a molecule whose total number of protons do not equal the total number of electrons.

There are two kinds of ions:

-An "anion" is an ion that contains more electrons than protons. It has a negative charge.

-A "cation" is an ion that contains more protons than electrons. This has a positive charge.
