Ions are charged atoms. When an ion loses one or more of its electrons it becomes a cation. Cations are positively charged ions. Cations can be formed from a metal by oxidation, from a neutral base by protonation, or from a polar compound by ionization.

Is sodium an anion or a cation?
The easiest way for sodium (Na) to achieve noble gas stability is for it to lose 1 electron. When this happens, you still have 11 protons, but now you have 10 electrons. 11 positives and 10 negatives equals an overall +1 charge. A cation is a positively charged ion.
What is the cation of NH4Cl?
NH4 with a charge of +1.
What type of charge do the roman numerals in a cation indicate?
