Answer:

A positively charged ion.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cation is a positively charged ion. Its opposite would be an anion, a negatively charged ion. An ion is simply a charged (positively or negatively) atom or molecule.

Answer:

Hey mate, here is your answer. Hope it helps you.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cation is a positive charged ion which has more protons than electrons. If a cation needs to be formed one or more valence electrons should be lost so that there are more of protons. Anion is a negative charged ion which has more electrons. If anion needs to be formed then one or more protons should be lost.
