A cation is an ion with a positive charge.
Ex: Iron(III) ion, Ca2+, Mercurous ion
The cation is the Potassium - K+. KOH is not a chemical element, its a compound - more specially a base.
H + cation => acid
ca2+
Methyllium cation
A Bronsted-Lowry base is a chemical species which has the ability to accept a proton (positive hydrogen cation). You could also say it as being a "proton acceptor" !
Some examples of chemical species are atoms, molecular fragments, molecules, and ions. These are subjected to a chemical process or to a measurement.
Anions- negatively charged ions- these are the ONLY species that form ionic bonds with cations!

The chemical formula (not symbol) of potassium bicarbonate is KHCO3.
This is not an equation but the chemical symbol of the cation: Ba2+.
Neither. It is a chemical compound.
The cation of cerium is Ce(3+).
