Ions are what happens when an atom either gains or loses electrons, and this in turn determines how it will react. Many chemical compounds depend upon the very stable combination of positive and negative ions. Ions are the reason behind the formation of table salt, the rusting of iron, and the metals that your body needs in small amounts to regulate how water moves into and out of every cell of your body. So it's important.
