As nouns the difference between codon and coion
is that codon is a sequence of three adjacent nucleotides, which encode for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis, or translation. Three special codons, called "stop codons," signal protein synthesis to terminate while coion is any ion of the same charge as another in a solution or other electrochemical system.
