A positive ion, also known as a cation, has a positive nuclear charge.
For example, Na+1, Mg+2, and Al+3 are all positive ions, because they tend to give away electrons to have a full eight electrons in its last shell and become stable.
O-2, F-1, and I-1 are all anions, negatively charged ions. They tend to gain electrons to have a full eight electrons in its last shell and become stable.
