Cations and Anions

Cations and Anions are concepts in chemistry. They are ions with a positive or negative charge. You can tell which is which in a few easy ways.

Cations - the t looks a little like a cross, or a plus sign! + cations are positive.

Anions - the common prefix "a" often stands for "without" or "against". Think of it as against a charge. -
