A cation is a positive ion
Li+ cation
Na+ is called a sodium ion or sodium cation.
The cation Si4+.
The cation is always written first in a chemical name. Cations are positively charged ions, while anions are negatively charged ions. The convention is to write the cation first, followed by the anion.
Pt(2+) is a cation of Pt(II).
nope x No, a cation is another name for a positively charged ion, but it is not an element.
The cation is Na+.
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.
Li+ cation
The Ionic Charge
The cation is the metal "Cu", otherwise known as the element Copper.
Na+ is called a sodium ion or sodium cation.
"Mercurous" is indeed the name of a cation, the one now most often called Hg (I).
The cation Si4+.
calluos or cation
The name of the cation followed by the name of the anion. If the cation is a single atomic cation, its name is the same as the name of the element (followed by the oxidation state number of the metal in the cation in Roman numbers within parentheses, if the cation is formed from an element that has two distinct stable oxidation states). If the anion is a single atom anion, its name is made from the element name by changing the ending "-ine", if present in the element name, to "-ide" or otherwise modifying the element name to end in "-ide" (e.g., carbide, nitride, oxide, sulfide, etc.). Polyatomic cations and anions have individual names.
