Cat-ion

Cat-ions are positively charged ions that are formed when an atom loses one or more electrons during a chemical reaction. To understand what this means, it is helpful to review some basic information about chemistry. Understanding what an atom is, something about atomic structure and properties, and then what happens during a chemical reaction all provide an important backdrop for considering cations.

A positively charged ion, i.e., one that would be attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.

Was your question really about cations or citations?
