Metallic ions or cations are Positively charged ions.
What are cations and anions?
- A cation is a positively charged ion that contains protons (positively charged particles) in greater amount than electrons (negatively-charged particles).
- When an atom loses one or more electrons, a cation is formed: the loss of the negatively charged electron(s) results in a positive overall charge.
- an anion has more electrons than protons, thus it has a net negative charge.
- A neutral atom is the one which has equal number of electrons and protons in its shell.
hence the correct option is Positively charged ion.
