john where are you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons. The definition of a molecule is two or more atoms held together by a covalent bond. Hydrogen only has one proton. This means that it can pass that one proton onto another element, making it part of a molecule. It can become an ion if it loses that one proton, or gains another proton.
