A cation is a positively charged ion.
The cation in question is positive.
Sodium is an elemental metal, found in the Periodic Table. When it ionises( looses) an electron it becomes the Sodium CATION (Na^(+)). Remember ions that have a positive charge are CATIONS, and ions that have a negative charge are ANIONS. Slo the chloride ion (Cl^-) is an ANION. Collectively they are ions.
It is an ion. If positive a cation. If negative,an anion
Dextrose is a neutral molecule, not a cation or anion. It is a simple sugar also known as glucose and does not have a net positive or negative charge.
In general, an atom with a charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion.A positively charged atom is called a cation and a negatively charged atom is an anion.
The cation in question is positive.
Cations are always positive, anions are negative.
Negative will be attracted to positive.
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
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
The electron is negative (-), the cation is positive (+).
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
A cation is a positive ion (as Na+). An anion is a negative ion (as Cl-).
It's an ion. Cation for positive and anion for a negative atom
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.
An ion can be either a cation or an anion, depending on whether it carries a positive or negative charge, respectively. Cations have a positive charge because they have lost electrons, while anions have a negative charge because they have gained electrons.
Copper is the cation (+) and sulfur the anion (-).
