Description

Cations are positively charged particles (atoms or molecules). Cations have one or more electrons less than the corresponding atoms or molecules. The model illustrates the formation of sodium cation Na → Na⁺+ e-.

Ionic compounds are created from ions (cations and anions). Cations and anions are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces.
