= cation =
An ion or group of ions having a positive charge and characteristically moving toward the negative electrode in electrolysis.
An atom, or group of atoms with a positive charge. Cation exchange is the process whereby a cation in solution is absorbed by a solid, replacing a different cation. Thus, in soil science, if a potassium salt is dissolved in water and applied to a soil, potassium cations are absorbed by soil particles, and sodium and calcium cations are released.

Is calcium an cation or anion?
As the elemental metal, calcium is neither a cation nor an anion. Its elemental symbol is 'Ca(s)' . 's' indicating that it is solid. However, like sodium , calcium readily ionises ( loses) 2(two) electrons. Symbolically it is now 'Ca^(2+) ' . It is an ION. Because it is a positive(+) ion , it is known as a 'CATION'. Compare to chlorine, it has electron affinity, and symbolically it is ' Cl^(-) ' . It is also an ION. But because it is a negative (-) ion , it is known as an ANION. So remember. any atom that loses or gains electrons, is no longer an atom, but an ION. If the ion is positively(+) charged, then it is a CATION , and if the ion is negatively(-) charged , then it is an ANION.
