Video: Anion: Definition & Examples. Ions are charged particles that are important for biological and chemical systems. Anions are ions that have a negative charge. This article discusses anions, their properties, and examples of anions in chemistry and nature.
Anion gap is the artificial measurement of ions. The measurement is an approximated one and not accurate. Ions are molecules which carry a charge with them. Positively charge carriers are called cations and those which bear a negative charge are called anions. This is used to calculate the unmeasured ions in the plasma.
