Question

2. A cation has. ______

charge ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A cation is a positively charged ion so it has Positive charge

Explanation:

Answer 2

☞ A cation has positive charge .

A cation carries positive charge due to loss of electron(s) where as an anion carries negative charge due to gain of electron(s).

✿ Ions

An ion is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms. It can be made from an atom, or from a group of atoms (molecule). It is "charged" so it will move near electricity. This is because atoms are made of three smaller parts:

1. Neutrons (with no charge),
2. Equal numbers of protons with a positive charge and
3. Negatively-charged electrons.

An ion has unequal numbers of protons and electrons. Making an ion from an atom or molecule is called ionization.

The charge on a proton is chosen as +1 (positively charged). The charge on an electron is opposite to the charge on the proton. The charge on the electron is -1 (negatively charged). An atom that is ionized makes two parts, one positive, and one negatively charged. For example, a neutral hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron. Ionizing the atom breaks it into two parts: (1) a positively charged hydrogen ion, H+ (2) a negatively charged electron.
