An anion is a negatively charged ion that results from the gain of one or more electrons by a neutral atom or molecule. Anions typically have larger radii compared to their neutral counterparts due to increased electron-electron repulsion. They are often formed by nonmetals, which tend to attract electrons easily. Anions play crucial roles in various chemical reactions, including ionic bonding and electrolyte formation.
