Cation. Just think of the t in the word cation as a "+" and you'll remember cations have a positive charge.

What is a positive charge on a ion called?
positive ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions
Atoms with a positive or negative charge are called ions?
ion
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
What type of elements form positive ions and what are positive ions called?
The elements that lose electrons and form positive ions are called metals. They will lose the electrons from their highest levels of energy to gain a more positive charge and form positive ions.
What are positively and negativity charged ions?
Ions are molecules which have gained (negative) or lost (positive) an electron. Positive Charge are called Cations. Negative Charge are called Anions.
An ion with a positive charge is called?
A positive ion, which is the same thing as "an ion with a positive charge", is called a "cation".
What are the charged particles formed called?
Negative charge: electrons Positive charge: protons
What is a positive charge on a ion called?
positive ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions
Do metal ions have a positive charge?
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
Atoms with a positive or negative charge are called ions?
ion
Ions are atoms that carry an electric charge?
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
What is an atom called that has a positive and negative charge as a result of gaining or losing electrons?
Atoms with a charge are called ions.
What have an electric charge of 1?
Atoms with charge are called ions. These ions have either gained or lost valence electrons to gain a net positive or net negative charge. Ions with a positive electrical charge of positive 1 (+1) are metals in the Alkali Metals Group and Hydrogen. Ions with a negative electrical charge of 1 (-1) are elements in the Halogen Group.
Iron ions with a positive 2 charge and a positive 3 charge are called what?
Fe 2+ is Ferrous Fe 3+ is Ferric
What is the difference between a negative and a positive?
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
Can ions have positive and negative charge?
An ion's charge will be either positive or negative, but not both. The charges are mutually exclusive. A positive ion is called a cation, and a negative ion is called an anion.
