http://goldbook.iupac.org/N04098.html An atom, radical, molecule or molecular moiety in the vapour phase which has gained one or more electrons thereby acquiring an electrically negative charge. The use of the term anion as an alternative is not recommended because of its connotations in solution chemistry.
