no the negative ions are not called cations ,they are called anions
An ion with a positive charge is called a cation, and has a superscript + sign to the right of it An ion with a negative charge is called an anion, and has a superscript - sign to the right of it
A negative ion is called an anion, while a positive ion is called a cation.
Ions. And they can also be called anion or cation depending on their charges. An anion is a negative ion, a cation is a positive ion.
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.
It's an ion. Cation for positive and anion for a negative atom
An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
A cation is a positively charged ion.
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
ion, cation for positive, anion for negative.
a "cation" pronounced Cat Ion.
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
A cation is a positive ion (as Na+). An anion is a negative ion (as Cl-).
