Ions are created when atoms gain or lose electrons. Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral.
When an atom gains one or more electrons, it becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons than protons. This negatively charged atom is called an anion. Conversely, when an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons. This positively charged atom is called a cation.

Turn
[Break]
On
[Break]
Turn I on
[Verse 1]
In the atomic world, where particles roam,
There’s a little thing called a positive zone.
Shed some negativity, no longer neutral,
We’ve become something else, something beautiful.
[Pre-Chorus]
So come on, baby, let’s ignite the flame,
In this chemical game, we’re not the same.
I’ll be your positive charge, you’ll be my attraction,
Together we’ll create some chemical reaction.
[Chorus]
I’m a cat ion, positively charged,
Let’s dance together, let’s live large.
Turn I on, feel the spark,
In this atomic love, we’ll make our mark.
I on
Turn ion
[Break]
To turn I on
A positive charge
Like a cat, just like that
I on
[Break]

[Verse 2]
In a world of I ons, under high demand,
Our electric energy, you just can’t withstand.
We’re like magnets, drawn together so tight,
In our chemical bond, we’ll shine so bright.
[Pre-Chorus]
So come on, baby, let’s ignite the flame,
In this chemical game, we’re not the same.
I’ll be your positive charge, you’ll be my attraction,
Together we’ll create some chemical reaction.
[Chorus]
I’m a cat ion, positively charged,
Let’s dance together, let’s live large.
Turn I on, feel the spark,
In this atomic love, we’ll make our mark.
I on
Turn ion
[Break]
To turn I on
A positive charge
Like a cat, just like that
I on
[Break]
I on
[Break]
[Bridge]
We’ll defy gravity, rise above, love, love, love
In this atomic dance, we’ll find our love.
With every proton, with every electron,
Our bond is strong, we’ll carry on.
And on and on and on
[Break]
To turn I on
A positive charge
Like a cat, just like that
I on
[Break]
I on
[Break]
[Verse 3]
A positive charge at large,
Our electric energy, is blinding to see.
We’re like gravity, out-of-sight,
Our chemical romance shine so bright.
[Chorus]
I’m a cat ion, positively charged,
Let’s dance together, let’s live large.
Turn I on, feel the spark,
In this atomic love, we’ll make our mark.
I on
Turn ion
[Outro]
So come on, baby, let’s ignite the flame,
In this chemical game, we’re not the same.
I’ve got a positive charge, you’re my attraction,
Together we’ll create some chemical reaction.
