Cu2+ is a cation as are all positive ions. One way to remember is to think of the "t" in cation as a plus sign.

Is calcium an cation or anion?

As the elemental metal, calcium is neither a cation nor an anion. Its elemental symbol is 'Ca(s)' . 's' indicating that it is solid. However, like sodium , calcium readily ionises ( loses) 2(two) electrons. Symbolically it is now 'Ca^(2+) ' . It is an ION. Because it is a positive(+) ion , it is known as a 'CATION'. Compare to chlorine, it has electron affinity, and symbolically it is ' Cl^(-) ' . It is also an ION. But because it is a negative (-) ion , it is known as an ANION. So remember. any atom that loses or gains electrons, is no longer an atom, but an ION. If the ion is positively(+) charged, then it is a CATION , and if the ion is negatively(-) charged , then it is an ANION.


Is selenium cation or anion?

Selenium is an non-metal element that can exist in various oxidation states, including as a cation (Se^2+) or an anion (Se^2-, Se^4-, etc.). The oxidation state of selenium determines whether it acts as a cation or anion in a given compound.
