Cations and anions (1)

A cation (pronounced cat-ion) is a positively-charged atom (or a positively charged ion). On the other hand, an anion is a negatively-charged atom (also known as a negatively-charged ion).

Cations are positively charged where anions are negatively charged
Cations have a pawsitive (positive) charge. Therefore, anions have a negative charge.
