An ion with a negative charge is called an anion, indicating that it has gained one or more electrons. This gain of electrons results in an excess of negatively charged particles compared to positively charged protons in the atom. Consequently, the presence of a negative charge suggests that the ion is more stable in its current form than in its neutral state, often due to its tendency to achieve a full outer electron shell.
