👉 Cationic is a chemical substance that has an ionization potential that is opposite to that of an anionic compound. It is primarily found in organic compounds and is involved in the formation of water, particularly in aqueous solutions.
👉 Cations are positively charged ions that can form in water, and they include sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), ammonium (NH4), chloride (Cl), nitrate (NO3-), sulfate (SO42-) and ferric (Fe). These ions have a negative charge, so they can donate electrons to other molecules.
👉 Cationically is a term used in chemistry to describe an ion that has a positive charge on its outermost electron. It is also known as an ionic species, and it can be either a positively charged ion or a negatively charged ion depending on the specific structure of the molecule.
In the context of cationically defined ions, the charge on their outermost electron determines whether they are neutral (a type of ion that does not have any negative charges), positive (anionically charged ion
