A cation
A positive ion is known as a cation. This type of ion has a net positive charge due to losing one or more electrons during a chemical reaction. Cations are usually formed from metals on the left side of the periodic table.
Magnesium will typically form a positive ion, known as a cation, by losing two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in a Mg²⁺ ion. In contrast, sulfur usually forms a negative ion, known as an anion, by gaining two electrons to achieve stability, resulting in an S²⁻ ion. Thus, magnesium is the element that will be a positive ion.
An anion; the positive ion is known as a cation.
When the positive ion of a base combines with the negative ion of an acid, they form a salt compound. The positive ion from the base combines with the negative ion from the acid through an ionic bond to create a neutral compound known as a salt.
The hydroxyl ion is not a positive ion but rather a negative ion. The hydroxyl ion or anion is also known as hydroxide.
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
To create a positive ion, an atom must lose one or more of its electrons, which are negatively charged. This loss results in a net positive charge because the number of protons (positively charged) exceeds the number of electrons. The resulting positive ion is known as a cation. For example, when a sodium atom loses one electron, it becomes a sodium ion (Na⁺).
When a positive ion of a base combines with a negative ion, they form an ionic compound called a salt. This reaction is known as neutralization and results in the formation of water molecules. The salt produced depends on the specific base and negative ion involved in the reaction.
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
A positive ion, which is the same thing as "an ion with a positive charge", is called a "cation".
A positive ion is an atom or molecule that has lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net positive electrical charge. Examples include the hydrogen ion (H+) and the sodium ion (Na+).
