Solution

Cations:

  • A cation is a positively charged ionic species.
  • "Cation" is derived from the Greek word "Kato," which means "down."
  • When a metal's electrons are stripped away, they form.
  • They lose one or more electrons while retaining all of their protons.
  • A cation has a net positive charge because the protons outnumber the electrons.
  • Multiple-charged cations may be given unique names.
  • A dication, for example, is a cation with a charge of +2.
