Yes, a cation is a ion with positive charge.
A cation is an ion that has lost electrons giving it a positive charge. Ammonium is the cation in ammonium nitrate.
A hydrogen atom carries a neutral charge. (The number of protons and electrons are balanced.)A hydrogen cation is an ion so it carries a charge, and it's a positive charge because it's a cation. (There is one less electron, which makes the element a cation.)
Calcium and Oxygen are the atoms in Calcium Oxide.

The Ionic Charge
The name of a cation in an atom is electron. Cation refers to an ion of negative charge. Since electron is also of the same charge, the cation is electron.
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
A cation has a net positive charge.
A cation is an ion that carries a positive charge & can combine with certain anions. The charge depends on the metals used.
It is a cation with a 2+ charge, i.e. Mg2+ or Fe2+
NH4 with a charge of +1.
Cation = negative ion
A cation is an ion that has lost electrons giving it a positive charge. Ammonium is the cation in ammonium nitrate.
It is the iron(II) cation. The Fe atom loses two electrons to become doubly positively charged Fe2+ cation. Some of the compounds it might form are FeSO4 and FeCl2.
A positive ion, which is the same thing as "an ion with a positive charge", is called a "cation".
