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
(2P3/2→2P1/2,
known as the ionized carbon fine structure line)
is evidence of cooling in a gas cloud warmed by far ultraviolet light.
