2. A part separated from something; a division; a portion; a
slice. Specifically:
(a) A distinct part or portion of a book or writing; a
subdivision of a chapter; the division of a law or
other writing; a paragraph; an article; hence, the
character [sect], often used to denote such a
division.
It is hardly possible to give a distinct view of
his several arguments in distinct sections.
--Locke.
(b) A distinct part of a country or people, community,
class, or the like; a part of a territory separated by
geographical lines, or of a people considered as
distinct.

bigoted dotards, the extreme section of the
other consists of shallow and reckless empirics.
--Macaulay.
(c) One of the portions, of one square mile each, into

1. One of the electrified particles into which, according to
the electrolytic dissociation theory, the molecules of
electrolytes are divided by water and other solvents. An
ion consists of one or more atoms and carries a unit
charge of electricity, 3.4 x 10^-10 electrostatic units,
or a multiple of this. Those which are positively
electrified (hydrogen and the metals) are called
cations; negative ions (hydroxyl and acidic atoms or
groups) are called anions.
Note: Thus, hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociates, in aqueous
solution, into the hydrogen ion, H^+, and the
chlorine ion, Cl^-; ferric nitrate, Fe(NO3)3,
yields the ferric ion, Fe^+++, and nitrate ions,
NO3^-, NO3^-, NO3^-. When a solution containing
ions is made part of an electric circuit, the cations
move toward the cathode, the anions toward the anode.
This movement is called migration, and the velocity of
it differs for different kinds of ions. If the
electromotive force is sufficient, electrolysis ensues:
cations give up their charge at the cathode and
separate in metallic form or decompose water, forming
hydrogen and alkali; similarly, at the anode the
element of the anion separates, or the metal of the
anode is dissolved, or decomposition occurs.
2. One of the small electrified particles into which the
molecules of a gas are broken up under the action of the
electric current, of ultraviolet and certain other rays,
and of high temperatures. To the properties and behavior
of ions the phenomena of the electric discharge through
rarefied gases and many other important effects are
ascribed. At low pressures the negative ions appear to be
electrons; the positive ions, atoms minus an electron. At
ordinary pressures each ion seems to include also a number
of attached molecules. Ions may be formed in a gas in
various ways. Circular functionsCircular Cir"cu*lar, a. [L. circularis, fr. circulus circle:
cf. F. circulaire. See Circle.]

A body politic or corporate, formed and authorized by law to

Note: Corporations are aggregate or sole. Corporations
aggregate consist of two or more persons united in a
society, which is preserved by a succession of members,
either forever or till the corporation is dissolved by
the power that formed it, by the death of all its
members, by surrender of its charter or franchises, or
by forfeiture. Such corporations are the mayor and
aldermen of cities, the head and fellows of a college,
the dean and chapter of a cathedral church, the
stockholders of a bank or insurance company, etc. A
corporation sole consists of a single person, who is
made a body corporate and politic, in order to give him
some legal capacities, and especially that of
succession, which as a natural person he can not have.
Kings, bishops, deans, parsons, and vicars, are in
England sole corporations. A fee will not pass to a
corporation sole without the word ``successors' in the
grant. There are instances in the United States of a
minister of a parish seized of parsonage lands in the
right of his parish, being a corporation sole, as in
Massachusetts. Corporations are sometimes classified as
public and private; public being convertible with
municipal, and private corporations being all
corporations not municipal.

[L. corporatio incarnation: cf. F. corporation corporation.]
A body politic or corporate, formed and authorized by law to
act as a single person, and endowed by law with the capacity
of succession; a society having the capacity of transacting
business as an individual.
Note: Corporations are aggregate or sole. Corporations
aggregate consist of two or more persons united in a
society, which is preserved by a succession of members,
either forever or till the corporation is dissolved by
the power that formed it, by the death of all its
members, by surrender of its charter or franchises, or
by forfeiture. Such corporations are the mayor and
aldermen of cities, the head and fellows of a college,
the dean and chapter of a cathedral church, the
stockholders of a bank or insurance company, etc. A
corporation sole consists of a single person, who is
made a body corporate and politic, in order to give him
some legal capacities, and especially that of
succession, which as a natural person he can not have.
Kings, bishops, deans, parsons, and vicars, are in
England sole corporations. A fee will not pass to a
corporation sole without the word ``successors' in the
grant. There are instances in the United States of a
minister of a parish seized of parsonage lands in the
right of his parish, being a corporation sole, as in
Massachusetts. Corporations are sometimes classified as
public and private; public being convertible with
municipal, and private corporations being all
corporations not municipal.
