The cation would be either sodium, magnesium or aluminium. The only oxyanion with 26 electrons is the hypochlorite ion. So the compound is sodium/magnesium/aluminium hypochlorite.

An atom that has lost two electrons is called?
This atom become a cation with the electrical charge +2.
How can you compare atom and cation?
An atom is a neutral structure consisting of a single nucleus with its orbiting electrons. A cation is a positively charged structure consisting of a single nucleus with its orbiting electrons. The major difference between an atom and a cation is that the cation has lost one or more electrons and therefore has a positive charge overall.
Is ammonium an oxyanion?
No. An oxyanion is a polyatomic negative ion that contains oxygen. Ammonium is a cation (positive ion) and does not contain oxygen.
