Ions are atoms or molecules which have gained or lost one or more valence electrons giving the ion a net positive or negative charge.

Cations are ions with a net positive charge.

Cation Examples: Silver: Ag+, hydronium: H3O+, and ammonium: NH4+
There are two types of Ion cation and anion A positively charged ion is also known as cation. A cation is formed by the loss of one or more electrons by an atom for example sodium loses its 1 electron to form sodium ion which is a cation therefore cation contains less electrons than the normal atom For more Study material and more....
