C+

(singly ionized carbon, CII)
(ionized carbon missing one electron)

C+ is a single carbon atom missing one electron, i.e., with five electrons. In astrophysics, one of its spectral lines (2P3/22P1/2, known as the ionized carbon fine structure line) is evidence of cooling in a gas cloud warmed by far ultraviolet light.
