Cation
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A cation is a positively charged ion, formed when an atom or molecule loses one or more electrons.
Show
A calcium atom that loses two electrons becomes the Ca2+ cation, carrying two more protons than electrons.
Watch for
The name refers to the missing electrons, not extra protons — the proton count never changes when an ion forms.
