Which of the following is a cation

A. li+1

B. Li

C. cl-1

D. cl

A cation is an ion that has a positive charge, while an anion is an ion with a negative charge.

Your answer would be A) Li+

Li + is the cation listed, and Cl - is the anion listed.

If NaCl was put into a solution, it would dissociate and the ions present would be Na + and Cl-.

A cation has a positive charge

The one with a positive charge here is Li+1

so A is your answer
