An ion may have either a positive charge or a negative charge. So there term "positive ion" simply tells which of the two general types it belongs to.
A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
A net postive charge
Sulfur can exist in different oxidation states and form both negative (sulfide ion, S^2-) and positive ions (sulfate ion, SO4^2-).
A diagram showing the sodium atom as larger than the positive sodium ion would be representative since the positive ion has lost an electron, leading to a decrease in size due to the loss of electron-electron repulsion.
Yes it is different. Ion contain more protons.
A positive ion is a type of atom with less electrons than usual. A proton is a subatomic particle that makes up atoms.
The positive ion lost an electron.

An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.
To become more stable: positive+negative=neutral. Neutral is more stable than positive and/or negative.
An atom becomes a positive ion by losing electrons, resulting in more protons than electrons. This creates a net positive charge. An atom becomes a negative ion by gaining electrons, leading to more electrons than protons. This creates a net negative charge.
it is a positive ion
The Li ion is different from the atom because it has positive charge. (Lithium is group 1 element and these lose 1 electron to form for example :Li+ , Na+ etc)
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
the atom with a different number of electrons than protons called "Ion"
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
