#REDIRECT [[Ion#Anions and cations]]
An '''anion''' is an [[ion]] with a negative [[valence]] ([[negative charge]]).


{{Redirect category shell|1=
When naming [[compounds]], the anion is always named last and the [[cation]] first. A [[monatomic anion]] is named by taking the first part of the element name and adding ''-ide''. For example, the anion of the element [[nitrogen]], N<sup>3−</sup>, is called [[nitride]].
{{R from related word}}

{{R to section}}
[[Nonmetal]]s are more likely to form anions because they have a tendency to gain [[electrons]].
