I assume you mean 'anion' instead of 'onion'.
A cation is a positively charged ion. It loses one or more negatively charged electrons when forming ionic compounds. An anion is a negatively charged ion. It gains one or more electrons when forming ionic compounds. Every ionic compound must contain both a cation and an anion so that the compound as a whole has no charge.
A common example: In the ionic compound table salt (NaCl), sodium (Na+) is the cation, and chloride (Cl-) is the anion.
It may also be helpful to note that cations are almost always metals and anions are typically nonmetals.
On a lighter note:
If you really did mean 'onion', then the answer is simple: one goes in your salad and one does not. :)

How does a cation differ from an anion?
A cation is a type of an ion, or a charged atom. An atom is the main module. They have the same number of protons and electrons. An ion has a different number between the two. A cation is just an atom with fewer electrons than protons.
