complex ion

complex ion,

charged molecular aggregate (see ionion,
atom or group of atoms having a net electric charge. Positive and Negative Electric Charges

A neutral atom or group of atoms becomes an ion by gaining or losing one or more electrons or protons.

In some complex ions, such as sulfate, SO₄⁻², the atoms are so tightly bound together that they act as a single unit. Many complex ions, however, such as tetrammine zinc (II), Zn(NH₃)₄⁺², are only loosely aggregated and tend to dissociate in a water solution until an equilibrium is established between the complex ion and its components (see chemical equilibriumchemical equilibrium,

Many enzymes contain a metal ion about which parts of the protein are coordinated.
