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.
Cations have a positive charge.
Cations in a solution are typically associated with a positive charge.
Yes , ionic compounds always have positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. But in an ionic compound the positive and negative charges balance exactly leaving an overall charge of zero
Cations possess a positive charge because they have lost one or more electrons, leaving them with more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge.
The total charge in an ionic compound is always neutral, which means the positive charge of the cations equals the negative charge of the anions. This balance of charges is what holds the compound together through ionic bonding.
Cations have a positive charge.
no cations have a positive charge.

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

On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
Cations are positively charged ions that can be formed by both metals and non-metals. However, cations are more commonly associated with metals because metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions.
Cations are always positive, whatever they're of. Ooh, or is that anions? Yeah, on second thoughts I think cations are negative. Hang on a minute, I'll check......nope, I was right first time. Cations are positive.
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Anions have a negative charge.
Cations possess a positive charge because they have lost one or more electrons, leaving them with more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge.
Ions with a positive charge are called cations. Common cations include hydrogen ions (H+), sodium ions (Na+), and calcium ions (Ca2+).
These are ions: positive (cations) and negative (anions).
