Ion Density

Ion density refers to the concentration of ions—charged particles—in a specific volume of space, typically measured in ions per cubic meter. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons and can be found in various environments, such as in fluids like seawater, in the atmosphere, or in plasma. High ion density can affect physical and chemical properties, playing a crucial role in processes like electricity conduction, chemical reactions, and biological functions. Understanding ion density is important in fields ranging from chemistry and physics to environmental science and medicine.
