Solution
Hi Pranjal,
Scientists didn’t form ions. Ion is actually a charged species.
An
ion
is actually an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.
Hope, this answers your question.
Cheers!
