Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ions that contain fewer electrons than protons have a net positive charge and are called cations.
Detailed explanation-2: -When writing the symbol for an ion, the one-or two-letter element symbol is written first, followed by a superscript. The superscript has the number of charges on the ion followed by a + (for positive ions or cations) or-(for negative ions or anions).
Detailed explanation-3: -In an atom, a positive charge occurs when an atom has more protons than electrons. The proton is what determines its positive charge. It is denoted with a plus (+) sign. It attracts negative charges and repels other positive charges.
