A cation refers to an atom or a group of atoms that bear one or multiple positive electric charges. An anion refers to an atom or a group of atoms that bear one or multiple negative electric charges.

Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a ...

IT is suggested that the ionization potential, I (first for univalent cations, second for divalent cations, third for trivalent cations, and so on), be used as a relative measure of the power of a ...
