No, cations do not always have a positive charge. Cations are ions that have a positive charge because they have lost electrons. However, some cations can have a neutral or even a negative charge depending on the number of electrons they have lost.


How might cations in group 1 be separated from cations in group 2?

If your Group 2 cations are calcium, strontium or barium, add a solution containing sulphate ions, i.e. sulphuric acid or the sulphate of the Group I metal that is the Group I cations in your solution. The Group 2 cations will precipitate out with the sulphate ions. If you have beryllium or magnesium cations, then I don't know.
