• Most of the compounds of metals and non-metals contain charged species.
• These charged species are known as ions that are positively charged and negatively charged
• .A negatively charged ion is known as an anion and the positively charged ions are called cations.

Therefore he positive ion is called a cation and the negative ion is called an anion.
