Cations
Particles with a charge are called ions. Ions can be positively charged (cations) or negatively charged (anions) depending on whether they have lost or gained electrons.
The charge of the cell would repel similar charged ions and attract opposite charged ions. For example, if a cell is positively charged, it would repel positive ions and attract negative ions
Positively charged ions, or cations, are atoms that have lost electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. Negatively charged ions, or anions, are atoms that have gained electrons, leading to a net negative charge. These charged ions are formed through the process of ionization.
Mad up of positively charge cations and negatively charged anions.
Yes, the positively charged hydrogen ends (or hydrogens) of water molecules can attract negatively charged chloride ions. This attraction occurs due to the electrostatic forces between the opposite charges, leading to the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules and chloride ions.

Yes, copper sulfate (CuSO4) does have an electrical charge when it dissociates in water. In solution, CuSO4 will dissociate into Cu2+ ions (positively charged) and SO4^2- ions (negatively charged).
Those types of atoms are known as ions. These bear no positive or negative charge as the total number of electrons is not equal to it's set number or protons which gives the ion a net charge. These ions can be created by both physical and chemical means.
Depolarization is followed by positively charged ions, such as potassium leaving the cell, causing the positive charge to lower.. Then other positively charged ions, such as sodium, are removed by the special transport system, such as the sodium-potassium pumps, until the electrical potential inside the cell reaches its original negative charge is called Repolarization.
The positively charged ion is the cation. Negatively charged ions are called anions.
Most polyatomic ions have a negative charge. There are only 2 positive polyatomic ions; Mercury(I) ion and Ammonium ion. False.
Calcium ions are positively charged ions that play a key role in muscle contractions, nerve function, and bone health. Sodium ions are also positively charged ions that are essential for nerve function, muscle contractions, and fluid balance in the body. The main difference is the specific biological functions they serve within the body.
