The 13 pages that link to Cation, each with the reason it gives.

• Ionic compoundBroader topic: Cations supply the positive charge that must be balanced in an ionic formula.

• Ionic bondingBroader topic: Cations provide the positive charges attracted to anions.

• IonBroader topic: Electron loss leaves the ion with more protons than electrons.

• IonizationBroader topic: Electron-removal ionization produces cations.

• Cation-Exchange CapacityRelated: CEC measures soil’s capacity to retain and exchange these ions.

• Sodium ionNarrower topic: Na⁺ is a cation, one member of a broad class with varied charges and sizes.

• Rock salt structureRelated: Cations occupy one of the two alternating ion sublattices.

• AnionCompared with: Anions carry the opposite charge, and the two often attract each other.

• Salt (chemistry)Broader topic: Cations provide the positive component of a salt’s ionic formula.

• Calcium ionNarrower topic: Ca²⁺ belongs to this class because it has lost electrons.

• Iron(II)Narrower topic: Fe²⁺ is a cation with a charge of two positive units.

• Lead(II) ionNarrower topic: Lead(II) ion is a metal cation with a charge of +2.

• AdamantaneNarrower topic: Adamantyl carbocations are stabilized by the cage’s geometry and provide useful substitution intermediates.
