Answer 1

$\huge{Hey Mate!!!}$

☆☞ Here is ur answer ☜☆

☆☞ When a single element , or a group of elements, has a charge , it is known as ion. When an ion is positively charged, it's called Cation.

☆☞ When an element or compound is in cation form, it can be represented by either the element symbol or by a compound formula, with the amount of charge written as a superscript immediately after the symbol or formula.cations are positive ions is by replacing the 't' in 'cation' with a positive sign, +.Cations form when an element, or group of elements, (compounds) lose one or more electrons.electrons are actually negatively charged particles. So, when an element loses an electron, it becomes less negative and more positive. Cations can be formed from metal elements, as well as nonmetal elements. If a metal element forms an ion, it always forms a cation. Some metals always form the same type of cation. For example, sodium always forms a +1 cation and magnesium always forms a +2 cation. Some metals are flexible and can form more than one type of cation. Copper can form +1 or +2 cations, and iron can form +2 or +3 cations.

HOPE IT HELPS.

CHEERS!!!

Answer 2

AHOY !!!

________________________________________

Positively charged ion is called cation it has an electrical positive charge consisting of group of ions .

Ions are the atoms which gain or loose electrons from the valence electrons .An Ion is having more charge of protons than the electrons . But atom is electrically neutral and has a + 2 charge they don't lose protons .

For cation we can take example of sodium Na it lose electrons when it has to be combine with other atoms hence it has positive charge .
