plural of cation
Ion with a positive charge
Think chemistry class When an atom or molecule has more protons (positively charged particles) than electrons (negatively charged particles), it has an overall positive charge and is called a cation Many minerals, when in solution (that is, dissolved in water), carry a positive charge Clay particles are negatively charged and will attract any cations in solution that are near it; just like two magnets of opposite charge are attracted See also clay
positively charged ions
cation
The ion in an electrolyzed solution that migrates to the cathode
cation
Atom or group of atoms carrying a positive electric charge, indicated by a superscript plus sign after the chemical symbol. Cations in a liquid subjected to an electric field collect at the negative pole (cathode). Examples include sodium (Na^+), calcium (Ca^2+), and ammonium (NH4^+; see ammonia). See also ion; Compare anion
cation
A positively charged ion (Na+, H+)
cation
(chem) A positively charged ion (Greek, katienai, to go down)
cation
- an ion with a positive charge
cation
A positively charged ion; -- opposed to anion
cation
Positively charged ion in solution When minerals dissolve in water, they form ions that have a tiny positive or negative electrical charge John Comer, Indiana Geological Survey
