Cation. Just think of the t in the word cation as a "+" and you'll remember cations have a positive charge.
That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.
Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions. Cations have a net positive charge because they have lost electrons, while anions have a net negative charge because they have gained electrons.
Ions with a positive charge are called cations. Common cations include hydrogen ions (H+), sodium ions (Na+), and calcium ions (Ca2+).
positive ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.

A positive ion, which is the same thing as "an ion with a positive charge", is called a "cation".
Ions with a positive charge are called cations. Common cations include hydrogen ions (H+), sodium ions (Na+), and calcium ions (Ca2+).
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
positive ions are called cations, while negatively charged ions are called anions
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.
Negative charge: electrons Positive charge: protons
Atoms carry a positive charge on the proton and a negative charge on the electron, usually these cancel out.
A positivley charged ion, will produce a charge called Cation and negativley charged ions produce a charge called a anion. YOU'RE WELCOME.
Atoms with a charge are called ions.
When discussing ions, remember that opposites attract. Therefore, when ions bond together, you will find positive ions interacting with negative ions so the final molecule has no charge overall.
