The cation in question is positive.
A cation is a positively charged ion.
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.
A cation is a positively charged ion.
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
positive and a positive is a positive negative and a negative is a positive to answer your question: positive and a negative is a negative.
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.
