The word “anion” comes from the Greek word káto, meaning “down.” Examples of anions include: 1. Hydroxide anion: OH– 2. Oxide anion: O2- 3. Sulfate anion: SO42- Electrons are added to form anions, so they may be larger than neutral atoms if another electron shell forms.See more on sciencenotes.orgEstimated Reading Time: 3 mins Anions are ions with a negative charge.
