cation
/ˈkatʌɪən/
noun
Chemistry
A positively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.
Origin
Mid 19th cent: from cata- ‘alongside’ or from cathode, + ion.

Ions happen in solutions of many chemicals and a positively charged cation moves toward (and typically combines with) a metal cathode like a copper strip which is attached to a source of DC electricity. Do not expect this illustration to clarify much.
